WHY THIS HIKE

The Monte San Primo ridges over the lake

The highest summit in the Larian Triangle, with the lake on every side.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from the Colma di Sormano for a gradual, always panoramic climb towards Monte San Primo. The path runs through high pastures and open ridgelines, the eye constantly dropping onto the arms of Lake Como and the mountains around them. At the summit the view turns a full circle: the lake, the Grigne, the Alps and, on clear days, the plain as far as the Apennines.

5 reasons to come - the highest summit in the Larian Triangle - the arms of Lake Como beneath you throughout - open ridgelines, with nothing blocking the view - the Grigne and the Alps from the same top - a gradual climb, never brutal

Who it suits A gradual climb on well-marked paths: normal walking fitness, with nothing technical.

A view that leaves you speechless: come and take it with the Guidders.

WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE YOU GO
✓
BEFORE YOU GO
Go to bed early, have a good breakfast and drink before you set off: you've got 7 h and 750 m of ascent ahead, if you go to the mountains a couple of times a month, you're fit enough
✓
IN YOUR BACKPACK
Warm layers, a windproof jacket, 1.5 litres of water and a headlamp: the days are getting shorter, plus poles. Always with you: a plaster, an antiseptic wipe and a small bag for rubbish
