A section dedicated to true mountain lovers, to be experienced slowly and deeply
Welcome to the most majestic and wildest part of the Lecco area, where the horizon rises, the air becomes thinner and time slows down. The Upper Valley, with its alpine pastures, the Grigne and Prealpi Lecchesi, is a land that enchants anyone who loves authentic mountains, the kind made up of breathtaking panoramas, refuges that can only be reached on foot, high pastures and paths that get lost in the clouds.
This section of the portal is the ideal starting point for those who want to discover the mountain heart of the province of Lecco: an area where adventure, the spirituality of walking and the simplicity of small gestures coexist.
The Grigne: queens of rock
Grigna Settentrionale and Grigna Meridionale - or Grignone and Grignetta, as hikers call them - are among the most iconic mountains in the Orobian Alps. Equipped itineraries, vie ferrate, legendary shelters such as the Brioschi and the Rosalba, and landscapes of rare beauty: the Grigne offer challenges and satisfaction at every step.
Alpine pastures and ancient alps
In Alta Valsassina and the Cainallo and Pialeral area, numerous alpine pastures are still active and can be visited. In summer they come alive with cheese production, animal husbandry and rural life. A journey through age-old traditions and genuine flavours, perfect for families and lovers of Alpine culture.
The panoramas of the Lecco Pre-Alps
From Mount Muggio to Mount Due Mani, from Magnodeno to Resegone, the Pre-Alps offer a privileged viewpoint over the whole of Lake Como and the Lombardy plain. Here the paths wind their way through flower-filled meadows and over spectacular ridges, with routes suitable for every type of hiker.
Refuges, bivouacs and hospitality at altitude
Mountain huts are not just a place of refreshment: they are part of the experience. Whether it is a night under the stars at the Bietti-Buzzi hut or lunch at the Bogani hut after a long climb, every stop is a moment of connection with nature and with oneself.
Unspoilt nature and biodiversity
The flora and fauna of these areas are a heritage of extraordinary richness. Among chamois, golden eagles, alpine orchids and centuries-old beech forests, each excursion is a journey into the heart of the pre-Alpine environment, protected by parks and nature reserves.
This section of the portal accompanies you step by step in building your own experience at altitude:
Detailed hiking guides with tracks, times and difficulties
Thematic routes for experienced hikers, families and photography enthusiasts
Interactive map with huts, viewpoints and visitable alpine pastures
Calendar of high-altitude events, open alpine pastures, traditional festivals and fairs
Proposals for stays in mountain huts, agritourisms and B&Bs
The mountain is freedom, breath, truth.
Let yourself be guided by those who know it and tell about it. With our portal, you can plan a different holiday, far from mass tourism, in contact with the purest nature and the most authentic roots of the Lecco area.
