Programme of the day
From Colico we follow the course of the Inganna stream up to the upper part of the town, past farms and splendid villas, and then into the woods. We cross the border between the provinces of Lecco and Sondrio, ford a few streams (without getting our feet wet!), and walk along agro-sylvo-pastoral roads and typical mountain paths. Every so often the forest opens up, offering views of Pian di Spagna and the lower Valtellina. On reaching Piani di Nogaredo we stop for a picnic lunch. Here your guide will cook you a Polenta Taragna rich in cheese, to warm the stomachs and spirits! We then descend to Delebio where we return by train (€1.90) to Colico (those who came by train can continue the journey to Lecco).

Hiking shoes or boots, water, packed lunch, optional trekking poles, rain and wind protection.
NB: You will find a few fountains along the route where you can fill your water bottle.
