From Alpe Di Paglio to the Ombrega refuge

This route takes you all around Monte Muggio, in an anti-clockwise direction. All the track is on gravel/dirt. A large part of the path is in the forest, with a wonderful view of Monte Legnone and the Swiss and Valtellina Alps.

A beautiful round trip hike above Lake Como. There are magnificent views throughout the route and at the summit. There are lots of ibex and a few chamois, all of which are quite tame. The hike is quite physically demanding, with a steep climb all the way! But the trails are well marked, with a few sections where you need to use your hands, but no major difficulties and no exposed sections. This hike should be done in dry weather (and on dry ground). The access roads to the starting point are very narrow.

Along the Via del Bitto, this route leads you steadily uphill from Introbio to the Tavecchia refuge. It isn't a difficult ascent, but it's long. The route itself isn’t particularly scenic, but the Val Biandino panorama is worth the effort.

A beautiful walk in the forest overlooking Domaso. The actual starting point is at the beginning of Via Paradisio. If you are coming from the church, the sign will be hidden. On the way back, pay particular attention to take the path behind the church in Peglio.

This route takes you from Balisio Hill to San Calimero via Cornisella. The terrain is not difficult, but it becomes quite steep from Cornisella onward, so some preparation is required. The panorama of the Valsassina valley and also of the Valtellina Alps is wonderful.

A truly unique and breathtaking panorama, embracing the three arms of Lake Como. On the left, the Como arm with the island of Comacina and Dosso di Lavedo with Villa Balbianello; opposite, the tip of the Lario Triangle with Bellagio; and on the right, the Lecco arm at the foot of the Grigne mountains.

After a bus transfer to the other side of Lake Lugano, you will gradually enter the Val d'Intelvi, which is very popular with Italians. In Lanzo d'Intelvi, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the lake, the city of Lugano and Monte Salvator.

This fifth stage will take you to the shores of Lake Lugano in Italy, to the small village of San Mamete. You can even swim in the lake at the Albergo Stella del Italia. This route offers several panoramic viewpoints, particularly from the "Denti della Vecchia" massif, where the lake plays hide and seek with the teeth. In Castello, from the Oratory of San Martino, you can enjoy a splendid view of the lake.
