WHY THIS HIKE

Sunset on Monte San Primo

Have you ever toasted on the rooftop of Lake Como as the sun dips behind the Alps? Together with the Guidders, we'll embark on a truly special experience: a twilight trek on Monte San Primo, the highest peak of the Larian Triangle, amidst endless panoramas, golden light, and an aperitif at high altitude. We'll walk along scenic trails suspended above Lake Como, offering spectacular views of the Grigne, Resegone, and the lake's two branches. We'll reach the summit precisely during the Golden Hour, when the sky blazes with incredible colors and the lake reflects the last sunbeams. Here, we'll pause for a panoramic high-altitude aperitif, complete with toasts, lively conversation, and spectacular photo opportunities. After sunset, we'll descend with headlamps on, experiencing the magic of the mountain under the stars.

The experience

Monte San Primo is Lake Como's most spectacular natural balcony. Witnessing the sunset from here, toasting before the Alps as the lake shimmers gold, makes this experience truly unforgettable.

If you want to experience an incredible sunset above Lake Como, complete with an aperitif, breathtaking panoramas, and a magical atmosphere, then this Monte San Primo adventure is perfect for you. Join the Guidders and get ready to toast, suspended between lake, sky, and mountains.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Matteo, a Guiddy coordinator and a CSEN trekking instructor, and a CAI member. The mountains have always been one of my greatest passions: the moment I can, my boots are on and I'm out exploring trails, summits and new views. I love experiencing nature mindfully and respectfully, and I believe a hike is far more than a walk: it's a chance to feel good, share emotions and build connections. Besides the outdoors I'm an ENCI dog trainer and a Red Cross volunteer, where I'm completing my training as an emergency responder. Different worlds, but they taught me the same three things: listen, take responsibility, pay attention to people. If you're a Guidder who likes walking with a smile and wants to be part of a close-knit group, we'll understand each other straight away. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
