Mount Grona

One of the 10 most beautiful places I have seen in the world, says Gabriele, your guide, a traveller with a good track record as an explorer on planet Earth.

The 360 degree panorama over the three branches of Lake Como, Lake Piano and Lake Lugano, the Alps and the Lario Pre-Alps make Monte Grona a TOP vantage point.

(Reachable by Train!)

Day 1:

From the starting point we ascend along paths enjoying beautiful views of the centre of the lake

until we reach the Menaggio Refuge, where a splendid panorama opens up. We settle down in the refuge, relax, and for those who still feel like walking, we go to contemplate the sunset at a vantage point over three lakes. We wait until evening falls to sit down and enjoy a convivial dinner with our fellow adventurers. We sleep in the hut on bunk beds.

Day 2:

After a good breakfast and coffee, we set off on our assault on Monte Grona , which we reached via the panoramic trail. Of all the peaks I have reached, I would say that the view from here is unrivalled by the other mountains of the Lario (my personal opinion!).

From Monte Grona we continue along an easy ridge to the sober yet splendid Church of Sant’Amate. From here the view sweeps over the Upper Lake and the Alps. The descent begins, which will take us to the Monti di Breglia, where we will rejoin the path we took on the way to our cars.
