Southern Grigna or Grignetta is considered the younger sister of the Northern Grigna or Grignone, due to the 300 meters difference in height between the respective peaks.
Its dolomitic peaks, majestic standing over the blue water of Lake Como, offer equipped climbing routes or trekking paths providing numerous hiking chances to a wide range of audience going from very technical climbers to average walkers.
Many of the trails start from the Pian dei Resinelli plateau, which can be reached by car along a winding road climbing up from the village of Ballabio.
The most renown trekking routes in the Resinelli area start from here: the Direttissima, going on top of the Grignetta to the Rosalba mountain hut and the Cresta Cermenati. The Traversata Alta (High Crossing) and the Traversata Bassa (Low Crossing) connect Grignetta and Grigna in a ring that can be walked in two days, staying overnight in a mountain hut.
Grignetta is also a climbing paradise, thanks to its limestone walls with many climbing routes and “vie ferrate” (equipped climbing routes), recently equipped and re-spitted by the mountain guides organizing climbing courses and excursions.
There are numerous climbing routes, accessible over the year, such as Torrione Fiorelli, Sigaro Dones, Torrioni Magnaghi, Gruppo del Fungo, Cresta Segantini, Medale and Antimedale.
It is also interesting the visit to the Ancient Resinelli mines.

Mount Legnone is the highest peak of the Orobie Lecchesi and thanks to its characteristic pyramid shape at its far end top , it comes up like being a rough and wild summit.
It is one of the most popular mountain in the area , especially for the paths reaching the summit. The most walked on and safest path starts from the hamlet Roccoli Lorla in Valvarrone and is recommended to experienced hikers.
The way up to Alpe Campo instead , with the summer pasture and Griera mountain hut , is a route suitable to everyone , to be covered on foot or by mountain bike along the military road running from Pagnona. Here it’s possible to have a break before reaching the top to enjoy genuine tastes and live the experience of living in a mountain hut.
Legnoncino , linked in the name to its greater brother , reaches out to the lake from the mountain ridge where it appears and it’s not to be considered less important.
Thanks to its location it has itineraries rich in landscapes alternating views over the lake , the Valvarrone and the beginning of Valtellina offering a special mix of history and nature. In these places , in fact , many fortifications of the Cadorna Line dating back to the First World War are preserved. The summit can be reached with little effort through a beautiful dirt trail once again starting from Roccoli Lorla.
Scattered throughout the whole territory the pastures or ” Mont “ as they are called in Premana were in the past used as summer pastures for cattle.
Nowaday farming is preserved only in a few of them where it is still possible to watch the production of milk and buy genuine products.
The small clusters of huts are still very popular with families in the village who , especially in the summer , spend time in the renovated huts in search of relaxation and tranquility surrounded by nature. Thanks to this habit Premana has preserved its traditions and has taken care of the mountain territory.
In this unique natural setting the pastures themselves , connected by a network of dirt roads , mule tracks and well-marked trails , are the destination of many hikers both for easy walks and challenging treks.
Along the 32 km long route connecting the 12 pastures , every year in July the skymarathon Giir di Mont , a worldwide known mountain running race , takes place.
Another opportunity to discover the mountain pastures is represented by the Past which take place during the summer. They are traditional festivities with lunch based on vegetable soup and boiled meat shared together , accompanied by music , fun and good wine.

Mount Muggio si located in High Valsassina and is very popular among trekkers and mountain bikers for the scenic trails over Lake Como and its mountains.
Paths and trails climb up its slopes taking off from the villages located on the lake, Dervio and Bellano. The routes allow the chance to stop at intermediate stages to rest or to drink at a water spring while the view opens wider and wider while walking up.
Among the favorite destinations are Alpe Camaggiore and San Grato, two panoramic balconies overlooking the lake; from here bikers also appreciate the steep descent to the valley.
Other trails suitable for mountain biking start from mid-mountain, from the hamlets of Vendrogno and Casargo villages, and getting to Alpe Giumello.
The loop-trail of Mount Muggio can be covered in about two and a half hours of light up and down biking. The trail leavs and returns to Giumello going through century-old beech trees woods and meadows, enlightening oneself with views over Valvarrone, the lake and Valsassina.
At Alpe Giumello are some mountain huts and shelters and a pasture producing cheese. The alp can be reached via direct drive for a picnic or a short walk, or for a climb to the huge iron cross placed on top of Mount Muggio. This ascent is to try in winter as well with snowshoes or ski touring.

The village of Dervio on Lake Como is an interesting destination for sailing and water sports lovers or for those who want to approach them for the first time.
Its position on the upper part of the lake together with the presence of the winds Breva and Tivano respectively blowing weak in the morning to the south and more intense in the afternoon to the north, offers favorable conditions to practice these sports, very popular also among foreign tourists. It’s common to see colored sails filling blue stretch of water of the lake.
There are several opportunities to rely on sailing schools, with courses for adults and children, or to try out windsurfing, canoeing and kitesurfing, thanks to various equipment rental shops.
There are also many sports events and regattas at international level taking place throughout the year.
The tourist harbor is a valid operating base and the wide beaches with equipped areas for picnics are the perfect place to spend the hot summer days by the lakeside.
A nice walk runs along the whole Dervio lakefront where bicycle and fitness lovers hang out for a run or people simply seek for peace and a rest sitting on one of the many benches overlooking the lake.
