"It is always great to stop in Lecco and Malgrate to walk and relax on the lakeside – especially in summer and spring. Those villages mirror the peaks above it. I came through here just like many other climbers and hikers to reach the mountains, both in the summer and winter.

I had fun with some rock climbing of the Grignetta, ski mountaineering in Grigna, hiking on the Barro and the Cornizzolo Mountains. After so much effort, I enjoyed a nice dinner in Lecco, Malgrate or Galbiate before returning home. There’s nothing better than this! "

Lorenzo
