The Trails of Valsassina

Valsassina: The Mountain Beyond the Valley of Mountains

A unique stretch of land immersed in untouched nature, where hikers move through an almost enchanted atmosphere within an alpine landscape offering breathtaking views.
The municipalities dotting the area are small, industrious villages that preserve the marks of time and traces of ancient humanity, where time occasionally seems to have stood still.
The area offers countless options for excursions of varying difficulty, capable of satisfying both the most experienced hiker and the visitor eager to spend a few hours away from metropolitan traffic.

Excursions to Piani Resinelli

The Piani Resinelli, nestled on a large saddle at the foot of the imposing Grigne mountains, enjoy a privileged position from which one can admire an incomparable view: on the clearest or windiest days, the gaze stretches from the Rhaetian Alps to Monte Rosa.
At an average altitude of 1,300 meters above sea level, this location is ideal for hikers and rock-climbing enthusiasts: Piani Resinelli welcomes families seeking relaxation in nature as well as intrepid climbers always looking for a face to challenge. Piani Resinelli is a true natural refuge, the perfect place to hide from city stress, summer heat, and winter frenzy.
It can be reached with a gentle, partially shaded walk: a stop at the Belvedere is a must, both to catch one's breath and to admire the view of Lake Como and the Brianza Lakes. On the clearest days, the profile of the metropolitan area is visible, far enough away to allow for a breath of freedom. The trail continues with gentle climbs and a short, steep section with dangerous drops. The impression is that of sailing lightly above the Lake, looking out to admire the panorama and feeling as though you have found a small paradise for the soul.

Pizzo Tre Signori: The Heart of Valsassina

Located in the heart of Valsassina, serving as a link between the provinces of Lecco, Sondrio, and Bergamo, Pizzo dei Tre Signori is a splendid mountain in the Orobic Alps, offering a breathtaking panorama of all the Lombard mountains and the Central Alps. Its name derives from its position as the meeting point of three territories. The main slopes of the peak descend toward Valsassina, Val Tartano, and Val Brembana, featuring ascent routes that are always manageable but rather long. Nature in these valleys is unstoppable: almost without fear, chamois and other animals show themselves to hikers, reciprocating their curiosity. The silence that falls over the trail when an eagle glides placidly and implacably through the sky is a rare and priceless emotion.
