WHY THIS HIKE

Sunset over the lakes from Monte Barro

It is the first mountain you encounter heading north: Monte Barro, the first bastion overlooking the plain. Its slopes invite us to enjoy unmissable views of the main lakes in the area and the Resegone mountain.

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

The experience

With a simple circular walk, we will look out over all sides of the mountain to enjoy splendid views of Lecco and its lakes, to breathe in silence and nature, and discover the secrets of the park, the long history of the territory among archaeological remains and unspoiled nature.

After a few hours of walking, we will arrive at the splendid balcony of the Hermitage just in time to enjoy the exciting colors of the sunset reflected in the major Brianza Lakes at our feet.

After dinner, we will complete our nocturnal loop on a wide mule track.

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!
