A loop hike on one of the most scenic peaks: overlooking the Orobian Alps, Lake Como and Brianzai, and the Monte Rosa massif!
Fancy a summit, altitude difference, little-trodden paths? Monte Due Mani is little frequented compared to its cousin Resegone next to it, we will climb along a splendid path among the less-trodden, skirting the Valle Desio stream.
Two routes, depending on how fit you are! Start from the Culmine di San Pietro (1258m) or the smiling village of Maggio (750m).
Along a comfortable mule track that becomes a path, past small waterfalls, puddles and the rushing of water, the path climbs gently and then quickly gains altitude. We alternate between path and mule track to rest our legs a little, passing splendid mountain huts. When we reach the Desio pass, the final challenge begins, the last 300m steep climb to the summit! Step by step, the panorama becomes more and more incredible!
Packed lunch at altitude at 1666m; we descend the first section on the ascent path and then continue along the cool mule track. We pass a pond rich in amphibians such as salamanders and crested newts!
