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.
