Panoramic excursion on Mount Legnone, which divides Valsassina from Valtellina. Medium-length climb with a difference in altitude of 1200 m starting from the Roccoli Loria Refuge. From the bivouac the path to the summit is equipped with chains in the fastest passages. At the summit, a breathtaking 360° view from the Rosa massif to the Ortles-Cevedale group, with the peaks …

August 10, 2024,Monte Legnone - Tour con partenza dal Rifugio Roccoli Lorla

The highest peak in the Lecco area in Valvarrone, Monte Legnone! Beautiful route, not at all difficult except for the last few km, where you have to pay a little attention to the technical ground equipped in the right places with chains, but absolutely doable. Water is always a mirage, so I recommend thinking carefully especially if you go there …

The highest mountain in the Lecco area. From the start at Ca 'de Legn you don't gain much altitude then the real fun begins!

September 22, 2024,Da Roccoli dei Loria al monte Legnone

Beautiful and very challenging route even if for the first 3 km or so it climbs gently. There is no water on the route so I recommend bringing enough water considering that you are exposed to the sun. Route suitable for dogs up to "Ca de legn" then I advise against taking the dog further even if there are people …

September 8, 2025,Monte Legnone - Tour con partenza dal Rifugio Roccoli Lorla

Parking at the Roccoli refuge costs €5 for the whole day. The climb is steep but technically straightforward. Only a few sections are equipped with fixed ropes. The trail description recommends expert hikers with a mountaineering level of F, as some sections require the use of hands.

June 27, 2025,Da Roccoli dei Loria al monte Legnone

Departure from the Roccoli Lorla location, after having bought the parking ticket (5€), before setting off, a short stop for a coffee at the refuge and then off towards Legnone. First stop Casera Meric de Scim after about 1km then you reach the Alpe di Agrogno basso at 2km and the Alpe di Agrogno alto at 3.5km, up to this …
