Embark on a difficult jogging loop around Lake Garlate from Calolziocorte, covering 9.7 miles (15.6 km) with a modest 144 feet (44 metres) of elevation gain, typically completed in 1 hour and 36 minutes. This route offers extensive scenic lakeside views, set against the stunning backdrop of the Alpine foothills, including the Grigna mountains and Monte Resegone. You will jog along tranquil lakeside promenades and pass the historic Azzone Visconti Bridge, a 14th-century structure marking the boundary between Lake Lecco and the Adda River.
While the trail is mostly paved, featuring asphalt and other paved sections, its considerable length contributes to its difficult rating for jogging, requiring good fitness. Be aware that the cycle path parallel to the dam can become quite busy, especially during summer, with many pedestrians sharing the route. Planning your visit during off-peak times might offer a more serene experience on this popular loop.
This loop is notable for its blend of natural beauty and historical significance. Beyond the panoramic views of Lake Garlate and the surrounding Alps, you can also discover the Abegg Silk Museum, located along the pedestrian-cycle path in Garlate. The route provides a unique perspective on the region's landscape and heritage, making it a rewarding experience for those seeking a challenging jog with cultural insights.
