Route7 km, Duration: 6 hours, difficulty average, Our excursion starts from the Breglia mountains following the “Panoramic Path” and climbs through birch and oak woods until reaching the Menaggio Refuge (1383 m, a real balcony on the Lario). From the Menaggio refuge you can reach the top of Monte Grona through two routes, which have the same difference in height (349 m) but different times and difficulties. 1st Normal Route (about 1h15m) The route begins behind the refuge, follow the signs for “Via Normale” until you reach the junction S. Amate-Monte Grona, where you take the path on the left which, through some climbs, leads to the locality Forcoletta (1627 m). From here, turn left and go up a very steep and exposed ridge. In a short time you reach the top of Monte Grona, using a metal cable to overcome the final jump. 2nd Via Direttissima (about 1h) The route always starts behind the refuge but you follow the sign indicating Via Ferrata. After a short time you arrive at a small opening and turn right following the signs for the Via Direttissima and climb up the steep south gully; the path is more inclined and exposed than that of the Via Normale. At the end of the gully, turn left, continuing to climb for a few meters through the rocks, facing a short stretch with chains that does not present particular difficulties. In a short time you reach the top of Monte Grona, using a metal cable to overcome the final jump. In both cases, you can go back along the same ascent route or alternatively take the other route to return to the Menaggio Refuge, then descend to the Monti di Breglia along the same ascent route. From 1 to 4 hours the price is 400€ – from 4 to 8 hours the price is 550€.
Route 10km, difficulty: easy, It starts from the village of Breglia, first of all going to visit the Madonna di Breglia, a church placed in a dominant position. You then return to the village where the route is marked and follows the ancient mule tracks that connect the various mountains. After a downhill stretch, which helps to overcome the Val di Greno, you arrive at Carcente, still partially inhabited where you can visit the museum of the rural house which preserves tools, uses and traditional costumes. Continue pointing uphill on the mule track that reaches the Carcente mountains. The mule track crosses an airy forest of Castani and is very well preserved. From the mountains of Carcente you can reach the mountains of Treccione in a few minutes, located on a large and sunny natural balcony. You return by mule track to the Carcente mountains and by another path to Breglia. From 1 to 4 hours the price is 400€ – from 4 to 8 hours the price is 550€.
Route 7 km, Duration: 6 hours, difficulty: easy. The departure is from San Nazzaro in Val Cavargna. At the end of the town, take a small road to the right that climbs narrowly back towards the hamlet of Bubegno. Once upstream from the small church of S. Antonio, take the asphalted road
which, crossing a beautiful pine forest, leads to the locality of Tecchio (1300 m), a small hamlet of houses with particularly sloping roofs: you can park your car nearby . Continue on foot along the pastoral dirt road that climbs the open slope up to the crossroads on the right leads to the Croce di Campo Refuge (1739 m) clearly visible from below. Once you reach the refuge, continue along the ridge above which after a short tear becomes semi-flat. Continue for about 200 meters on this coast, then leave it out and take a track that branches off to the right. Continue crossing for a long time, along the hillside, the SE side of the Cima Pianchette. The track is always clearly evident and leads to Bocchetta di Sebol (1986 m), at the base of the W ridge of Tabòr. Go up this grassy ridge and soon you will reach the summit of Mount Tabòr (2079 m). You then return to the aforementioned Bocchetta and faithfully follow the ESE swinging ridge of Cima Pianchette, without any difficulty, until you reach the top of the second peak of the traverse (2158 m). The path that requires some attention begins now. Take the signposted path downhill, which remains about twenty meters below the NW ridge of Cima Pianchette. Carefully descend an exposed stretch equipped with chains and you will soon arrive at Bocchetta di Piazza Vacchera (2065 m). The aided exposed section can be bypassed, following the easy line of the ridge. Now begins the ascent of the ESE ridge of Pizzo di Gino. Indeed, you always follow the marked path that remains under the ridge and only in some final stretches on it. Continue on the ascent, paying attention to the slightly exposed sections, until you reach the summit building, where the track ends. From here go up a short but steep grassy slope that leads to the ESE ridge. Go around a rocky outcrop to the right and through easy rocks you reach the summit of Pizzo di Gino (2245 m). From Pizzo di Gino you go down the normal route of this peak, initially along the rocky W ridge which then becomes a very wide grassy slope. You go down until you cross the wide path that crosses under the SW and then S side of the mountain and you arrive at Alpe Piazza Vacchera (1774 m). Now following the unpaved service road to this pasture (which climbs up from San Nazzaro) you return to the Croce di Campo Refuge and from here, as for the climb, you return to San Nazzaro. From 1 to 4 hours the price is 400€ – from 4 to 8 hours the price is 550€.
