From this point above Moggio and the Valle Ferrera torrent you have a splendid view of the Piani di Artavaggio, that is, a lovely green plain of fields and clearings, in the shadow of Mount Sodadura and Zuccone Campelli.

Nicola Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The refuge is open all year round. The cuisine is excellent and the pizzoccheri are worth trying. There is the possibility of staying overnight. To reach the refuge in winter it is recommended to equip yourself with snowshoes or crampons.

Today for the first time we continued up to the Nicola refuge, as far as I'm concerned this short stretch is decidedly challenging. Over half of the road we had …

The ride is a classic of MTB around Lecco: climb from Lecco to the Forcella di Olino, Culmine di S. Pietro and then up to Piani di Artavaggio. The point is that it can easily be done with a gravel bike, following all the interesting dirt roads.

We had the …
