Belvedere dei Piani Resinelli

Setting off from the city and going up 1,400 metres? You can do this by leaving Milan or Lecco towards the Piani Resinelli. This large plateau stretches between Lecco, Abbadia Lariana, Mandello del Lario and Ballabio, and awaits you in Valsassina, afoot Mount Grignetta.

Here you can enjoy views over Lake Como from a unique perspective, as a 12-metre skywalk has recently been installed, like a balcony suspended in the void from which you can admire nature all around you. To go up, reach the Ballabio roundabout and follow the signs in the direction of Piani Resinelli. Here you can leave your car and climb up to Valentino Park. Or, if you choose to walk, you can park in Ballabio and walk for about half an hour. A word of advice? At sunrise and sunset, the views are even more impressive.

Stargazing from the skywalk
The skywalk is accessible 24/7, even for a night hike. If you decide to venture out after dark, in order to tackle the route safely, remember to bring headlamps, which will allow you to have your hands free to firmly grasp the railings and handrail of the Belvedere skywalk, guaranteeing stability as you walk.
Although the night trail may seem a little challenging, following these precautions will allow you to experience the hike in complete peace, under the wake of the stars. Walking suspended in the silence of the night, shrouded in darkness and illuminated only by glowing constellations, you will really feel as if you are touching the sky with your fingers.
