Hiking

Explore the Sanagra Gorge and its Waterfalls on this moderate 5.1-mile (8.2 km) loop trail, which typically takes around 2 hours and 37 minutes to complete, gaining 1078 feet (329 metres) in elevation. You will follow the Sanagra river through a deep canyon with impressive rocky walls, encountering wild countryside, woods, and meadows. Look out for the majestic Sass Corbée, a gigantic overhanging monolith where the river forms beautiful waterfalls.

While parts of the Val Sanagra loop are considered easy, the section through the Orrido Sanagra itself requires good fitness and sure-footedness. Some areas can be exposed and uneven, so wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for varied terrain. Always check for current conditions and potential closures, as sections of the gorge trail have undergone renovation and may be affected by landslides.

This trail offers a unique blend of dramatic natural beauty and rich historical heritage within the Val Sanagra Park. You can discover ancient industrial remnants like old mills and furnaces, showcasing the area's past alongside its geological wonders. The park is also known for its significant wildlife and ancient rock formations, including fossil seeds dating back 310 million years.

Orrido della Val Sanagra

Highlight (Segment) • Canyon

Beautiful and very deep ravine. Everything secured and can be hiked easily. We were with the MTB on the road which is extremely bad.

Important crossroads in the lower part of Sanagra, in direct connection with 4 main routes: the route that comes from Piamuro, the staircase that goes up to Codogna, the path that leads to Cardano and the route that connects the Fornace Galli and the Vecchia Chioderia.
The name of the bridge (Nogara) comes from the owners of the mill located nearby (active until 1939).

A very beautiful, worthwhile, but not without danger.

The "Orrido della Val Sanagra" trail has been undergoing renovation work since September 2023.

The maintenance work allows use by experienced hikers (with appropriate footwear and helmet), but it remains a mountain trail that may be unstable. Extreme caution is required when walking on it.

Today I was out again in glorious weather. Luckily, most of the route was shaded. The route was once again very varied, and there were countless reasons to take pictures.
I don't really need to write much more about it, because pictures say more than a thousand words. Just put on some decent sneakers and let's go!

Nice tour for hot days as there is a lot going through the forest. There are always nice spots for breaks by the water.

Absolutely worth seeing gorge hike near Menaggio. Just a few kilometers from Lake Como.

Showing Translation

From km 2.8 onwards it becomes rather dangerous. Good footwear is an advantage. Unsecured passage! Not suitable for families with small children.
