WHY THIS HIKE

Como-Lugano Ridge Trek

Two lakes, one horizon. If you're dreaming of a summer day suspended between sky and water, this trek is for you. We set off early while it's still cool: altitude keeps you refreshed while the sun warms the valleys below.

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

The experience

We walk along the soft grassy ridges connecting Monte Galbiga, Monte Tremezzo and Monte Crocione, with Lake Como and Lake Lugano shining beneath us. Bring plenty of water: up here the breeze keeps you company and the view stretches all the way to Monte Disgrazia, the Bernina and Monte Rosa. At the end of the day we stop to celebrate: a cold beer or a coke, well earned after all that walking.

Why join us: - 360° views over two lakes in one single trek - Cool mountain air while the valley bakes in the heat - Panoramas stretching to Bernina and Monte Rosa - Group pace, no rush, just pure enjoyment

Join the Guidders and live this panoramic ridge like only our community can make it happen.

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!
