Embark on the Parco Valentino Skywalk Trail from Piani dei Resinelli, a moderate hike that guides you through serene beech forests and open meadows. As you traverse the 2.8 miles (4.5 km) route, you will gain 815 feet (248 metres) in elevation, a journey typically completed in about 1 hour and 38 minutes. The path offers varied terrain, leading you to spectacular viewpoints where you can gaze over Lake Como and the surrounding landscapes. A key feature is the suspended skywalk, providing a unique perspective high above the lake. From Monte Coltignone's summit, you can enjoy expansive vistas of the Lecco shore and other Brianza Lakes, framed by the peaks of Resegone and Grignetta.
Your adventure begins at the Piani Resinelli parking area, which serves as the convenient trailhead for this route. While parking is available, be aware that it tends to fill up quickly, especially during peak times, so an early start is advisable. Before you set off, you can find nearby cafes and bakeries where you might want to grab some supplies or a quick bite. The trail itself is well-marked throughout, ensuring a straightforward and enjoyable experience as you explore the natural beauty of the area.
The Parco Valentino area is renowned for its panoramic views, particularly the Belvedere, which offers clear sightlines over Lecco, Lake Como, and the Briantei Lakes. On exceptionally clear days, you might even catch a glimpse of Milan's distant skyline from certain vantage points. This trail provides a peaceful escape into nature, allowing you to immerse yourself in the mountain air and diverse scenery, from dense woods to open clearings.
