Itineraries from Lecco

Lecco as a starting point for the Lake Como mountains

Lecco is a city shaped by history, traditional neighborhoods, and rugged rock meeting the force of the water. It embraces the waters of the Lake while leaning against the mighty shoulders of its mountains—a place to fall in love with nature and witness its immense energy.

Lecco is the ideal starting point: far from crowded metropolises, you can already feel the lake breeze weaving through the narrow alleys of the historic center. This breeze mingles, in a harmonious dance, with the air descending from the ridges, which are so close they seem almost within reach. Privileged residents? They are simply an audience with a long-term ticket, witnessing the magnificent spectacle of the water and the mountains.

From this location, which seems to rest in a delicate balance, one cannot help but be drawn to the majesty of the mountains. Visible from every corner of Lecco, they appear to dominate the skyline, overshadowing even the city's modern buildings.

An irresistible call, a song for the heart of every hiker, and a poem for those who simply wish to experience firsthand the rock faces of massifs that are so close, sharp, and rugged.

The mountains surrounding the city are not only for climbers but also for slow travelers who explore historic trails, finding surprises at every turn. It is a journey reminiscent of the past century—an excursion from metropolitan areas to the verdant Prealpine lands, perhaps arriving from Milan by train, in a gradual transition from urban gray to the vibrant colors found between the Lake and the Mountains.
