WHY THIS HIKE

Bolettone and Palanzone, a sunset hike

Three summits, a steady pace and cake at the end.

Group chat a couple of days before

Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from the Alpe del Vicerè and climb straight towards Monte Bolettone, on a path that offers continuous gradients from the very start: excellent training for anyone wanting to test themselves. From the first summit the view opens over Lake Como, the Grigne and the Brianza; then we carry on along the crest to Monte Palanzone and Monte Puscio. We finish at Rifugio Cacciatori, where lunch — and cake — are obligatory.

5 reasons to come - three summits in the same day - the panoramic crest between the Bolettone and the Palanzone - Lake Como and the Grigne from the first top - lunch (and cake) at Rifugio Cacciatori - a steady pace, genuine training

Who it suits Continuous gradients and serious height gain: this is a training hike, good fitness is needed.

Three summits and a slice of cake: come with the Guidders.

900 m D+ · 16 km · 5 h

Easy

Perfect for those who want to enjoy nature without too much effort. Short, well-marked trails with gentle slopes. No technical difficulties, just a desire to walk, breathe in the fresh air, and share the day with a group.

Ideal for: Beginners, families, those who want to take their first steps in trekking.

Easy Plus

A little faster pace, but still accessible. Slightly longer routes or with a few more hills, requiring some walking experience. The terrain is always easy and safe.

Ideal for: Those who walk regularly and want to challenge themselves a little.

Intermediate

Here we enter the world of true trekking. Steeper climbs, stretches on uneven or longer trails that require stamina. The physical effort is medium to high, and the fatigue is noticeable... but so is the satisfaction!

Ideal for: Those who already have experience and a good level of physical fitness.

When the mountains begin to take their toll. More challenging routes in terms of gradient or duration, with technical sections or uneven terrain. Even a medium elevation gain can be tough if concentrated in just a few kilometers

Ideal for: Trained hikers, accustomed to walking on mountain paths

Difficult

Level suitable for experienced hikers with excellent stamina and surefootedness. The physical challenge is high, and there may be steep sections or possible exposure, which is always noted in the hike description. Perfect for those who enjoy pushing their limits and conquering significant peaks.

Ideal for: Those who already have experience in an Alpine environment and want to challenge themselves.

Difficult Plus

Only for true Guidders with their Wild Spirit at its peak Long routes, significant elevation gain (over 1,100 m), and technical or exposed terrain. Excellent physical preparation, sure-footedness, and the ability to manage fatigue at high altitude are required.

Ideal for: Highly trained and experienced hikers in the mountains.
