Embark on the Parco Valentino Skywalk Trail from Piani dei Resinelli, a moderate hike that guides you through serene beech forests and open meadows. As you traverse the 2.8 miles (4.5 km) route, you will gain 815 feet (248 metres) in elevation, a journey typically completed in about 1 hour and 38 minutes. The path offers varied terrain, leading you to spectacular viewpoints where you can gaze over Lake Como and the surrounding landscapes. A key feature is the suspended skywalk, providing a unique perspective high above the lake. From Monte Coltignone's summit, you can enjoy expansive vistas of the Lecco shore and other Brianza Lakes, framed by the peaks of Resegone and Grignetta.
Your adventure begins at the Piani Resinelli parking area, which serves as the convenient trailhead for this route. While parking is available, be aware that it tends to fill up quickly, especially during peak times, so an early start is advisable. Before you set off, you can find nearby cafes and bakeries where you might want to grab some supplies or a quick bite. The trail itself is well-marked throughout, ensuring a straightforward and enjoyable experience as you explore the natural beauty of the area.
The Parco Valentino area is renowned for its panoramic views, particularly the Belvedere, which offers clear sightlines over Lecco, Lake Como, and the Briantei Lakes. On exceptionally clear days, you might even catch a glimpse of Milan's distant skyline from certain vantage points. This trail provides a peaceful escape into nature, allowing you to immerse yourself in the mountain air and diverse scenery, from dense woods to open clearings.

Hike the Belvedere of Coltignone trail, a challenging 2.9-mile (4.7 km) route that climbs 746 feet (227 metres) over approximately 1 hour and 41 minutes. You will traverse varied terrain, from wide mule tracks and forest paths to narrower sections with steps, all while ascending through pine and beech woods. The highlight is the Belvedere, a suspended walkway offering expansive views of Lake Como, Lake Annone, and the city of Lecco below, with the Rhaetian Alps visible on clear days. You will also pass through green pastures and areas with wild flowers.
The trail typically begins from Pian dei Resinelli, a town situated at 1,200 meters above sea level in Valsassina. While some sections to the main Belvedere are considered easier and suitable for families, this specific route is rated difficult, requiring sure-footedness and sturdy footwear. You can enjoy the trail in all seasons, each offering a unique charm, from vibrant spring blooms to crisp winter scenes. Consider starting early to make the most of the views.
This trail is notable for its extraordinary 360-degree panoramic views of Lake Como, Lecco, and the Lombard Alps. A significant feature is the suspended walkway, opened in 2021, which hovers 12 meters above the ground, providing a thrilling perspective. The route is nestled within Valentino Park, offering a pleasant natural environment with diverse flora, and some paths lead past a small cavern housing a Madonna statue.
