Easy (although long) route to the Refuge Ombrega from the Alpe di Paglio, which also includes the Cima di Olino (1781 m).
During the walk, you will have a stunning panorama of the Valsassina valley, and also of Monte Rosa and the Pennine Alps. You can also spot the Como Lake.

Departure from Ballabio (Lecco)
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.

Departure from Introbio (Lecco)
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.
