What to expect
The hike starts from Milan with your guide handling transport to the trailhead near Valsassina. Once on foot, the trail climbs gradually through a small protected area towards Coltiglione, where the panorama opens across the Dolomites and down to Lake Como. You'll traverse a fairly open ridge with exposure but straightforward footing, then descend slightly to cross the footbridge—the tour's signature moment, where the drop below adds a mild adrenaline edge. Your guide interprets the landscape: stone formations, tree species, traditional mountain life and local food stories. The descent retraces the ascent route.
Good to know
Proper hiking boots or shoes are essential—the ridge can be loose underfoot. Moderate fitness is required; those with spine issues, pregnancy or weak cardiovascular health should skip it. Trekking poles are provided. Bring water and snacks; lunch is not included. Public transport exists nearby if you prefer independent access.
