WHY THIS HIKE
Trek to Alpe Deleguaggio and its Lake: through alpine pastures and crystal-clear waters
A trek immersed in the most authentic nature of the upper Valvarrone, at the foot of the imposing Mount Legnone. Together with the Guiddyers, we will set off from Premana, a historic village famous for ironworking, crossing shady woods and ancient paths up to the panoramic Alpe di Deleguaggio. From here the landscape changes completely: among pastures, rocks, and scree, we will reach the evocative Lower Lake of Deleguaggio, nestled among the mountains. From its shores, the view stretches over Valsassina, Lake Lugano, and, on the clearest days, as far as Monte Rosa. A well-rounded hike, perfect for those seeking breathtaking views, nature, and alpine corners that are still little known.

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.

Hi Guidders! I'm Paolo, a mid-mountain leader with the Collegio delle Guide Alpine of Lombardy. Before being a professional, I've always been a great enthusiast for the mountains, their landscapes and their history — and that's the right order, because the second thing grows out of the first. My working area runs across the provinces of Lecco, Como, Sondrio and Varese, with a specialisation around Lecco and the upper part of the lake: trails I know in every season and at every hour. I'd like to share that passion by taking you out on hikes of varying difficulty, rich in information about the places we visit together. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
We only ask for feedback from people who were really there.
