From Introbio to the Tavecchia refuge (Valbiandino)
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.

Departure from Valvarrone (Lecco)
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.
