WHY THIS HIKE

Cima d'Agrella in Valsassina

An intense and incredibly scenic trek through the most authentic and wild side of Valsassina. Together with the Guidders, we will set off from Introbio to tackle a lesser-traveled loop route, perfect for those seeking silence, nature, and paths far from mass tourism. We will climb along the ridge that separates Valsassina from Val Biandino, crossing steep sections, forests, and scenic ridges until we reach the wild Cima d’Agrella. From here, the view opens up over the Grigne and the Lecco mountains in a truly spectacular setting. We will then continue towards Cima d’Olino and descend towards Primaluna, closing the loop among the valley's ancient villages and small shrines. An excursion designed for expert, fit hikers with a sure foot.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Armando, a mid-mountain leader and International Mountain Leader. The mountains are a school of life and a natural gym for me. I've worked between nature and adventure for years: I was an instructor and rescuer in adventure parks and a rope access technician, and that path is what led me to guiding. I spend most of my days among woods and summits, and the striking thing is that every sunrise and every view still manages to surprise me — after all these years, that's saying something. On my outings I bring experience, care for safety and plenty of passion: the goal is to let you live the mountains for real, together with the Guidders. 🥾🌄 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
