Just Outdoor

To take a break, there is no better place than an alpine hut! Rifugio Scoggione (1575 m asl) is in an alpine pasture on Monte Legnone, on the border between the forest and the rocks. Feel like at home!

What is better than a horse riding on Lake Como? Riding in the wood, along the river or on the beach at sunset. What a magical adventure!

An open-air history lesson. The trench remains on a mountain that has never seen the war. Legnone and Legnoncino were and still an example of history-nature coexistence. The Northern Frontier was built during the Great War (here between 1916 and 1917). Have you ever thought of learning history by walking?

In search of a climbing sport? Sass Negher is the answer! Colico crag, in granite, is for all seasons! The open-air gym – overlooking the beautiful Piona bay – is of medium-easy level (difficulty 4a to 6b) with SE exposure, at low altitude.

Running by the lake, on the hills or in the wood. Colico area is full of trails for all running specialities. Top recommended trails: Montecchio Sud, Sentiero del Viandante (Colico-Dorio-Dervio), Rusico-Scoggione.

Feel like an ancient traveler on the Sentiero del Viandante, today a hiking route, for centuries the connection between Milan and the alpine passes. The path follows the entire eastern branch of Lake Como halfway up the coast for more than 70 km, passing through villages, castles, olive groves. Everything is so Instagrammable!

History in Italy is everywhere and a walk in the forest can also be a leap back in time. Torre di Fontanedo, built in the 14th century, is a perfect example. Visit the tower, climb the stairs and enjoy the panorama on Colico and the lake. Take a photo!

Monte Legnoncino (1714 m asl) is the little brother of Monte Legnone, a trail for training or an enjoyable walk with the family. You can follow a mule track, or ”Direttissima” path. The panorama is the gift!
