WHY THIS HIKE

Sunset at San Pietro al Monte

We will set off in the late afternoon, as the sun begins to set and the colors of the landscape become more intense. The historic mule track winding through the woods will guide us on a pleasant and immersive climb, far from the heat and hustle of the day.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We will reach the ancient basilica of San Pietro al Monte at the most evocative time: the silence of the evening, the golden light of sunset, and a view that opens up over the lake and the surrounding mountains. Here, we will stop for a picnic dinner, sharing a simple but authentic moment, surrounded by a timeless atmosphere as the lights of the plains flicker on around the Brianza lakes.

After dinner, we will prepare for the night trek back: a fascinating experience, guided by our headlamps and accompanied by the sounds of nature. Walking under a starry sky evokes different, deeper emotions, making this excursion truly unforgettable.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Anna, an environmental hiking guide and a repentant ex-office worker. I run group hikes in Lombardy, mainly in the provinces of Lecco, Como and Sondrio, and the reason is always the same: to spread as widely as I can that sense of wonder towards nature and towards this precious, beautiful planet of ours. What I enjoy most is watching someone enjoy a view without a worry in their head and go home having learned something new. It happens often — and it happens better if there's one of my home-made biscuits to nibble along the way. 🍪 Join one of my hikes and see for yourself. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
