Embark on an easy 2.8-mile (4.5 km) hike through the Ring tour between Monte Goi and Valbasca, a route that takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to complete with a gentle 464 feet (141 metres) of elevation gain. This accessible trail winds through dense woodlands and open grassy areas within the Parco Regionale Spina Verde, offering a refreshing connection with nature. As you ascend Monte Goi, you will discover splendid panoramic views of Como, the initial section of Lake Como, and the surrounding peaks like Monte San Primo. While much of the path is well-marked, be aware that some sections leading to Baita Monte Goi are cobbled.
This trail is well-suited for all fitness levels, making it a popular choice for short hikes and family outings near Como, Italy. The paths are generally easy to navigate, but if you plan your visit in autumn, exercise caution on the cobbled sections, as fallen leaves can make them slippery. The route provides a tranquil escape into nature, perfect for a leisurely morning or afternoon adventure.
The Parco Regionale Spina Verde is a protected natural area rich in both ecological and historical significance. At 430 meters, Monte Goi is home to Baita Monte Goi, a rustic mountain chalet known for its welcoming atmosphere and homemade cakes. The Valbasca Valley not only boasts natural beauty but also holds historical interest with the remains of a World War II gunpowder magazine, which is slated for renovation. The wider park also contains archaeological sites from pre-Roman civilizations and borders Switzerland, adding layers of intrigue to your exploration.
