Situated between the valleys of Valtellina and Valsassina, near Lake Como, **Monte Legnone** is a mountain from the **Bergamo Alps** that reaches **2,609 meters** of altitude.

On day 2, we’ll face the most demanding section of the hike with the final 250 meters on steep terrain. Finally, once at the top, all of our efforts will be rewarded with the astonishing panoramic view of the Monte Legnone surroundings. We’ll have the pleasure to contemplate Lake Como, Valtellina and Lake Lugano as well as the Swiss Alps.
