One Day hike in Lombardy

You can have a one day hike in Lombardy right from Milan.

Milan is located to the central west of Lombardy. Its strategic position in the centre of the Po Valley allows mountain lovers to go hiking and trekking everywhere. You can choose Alps, Apennines and the sea.

For your day hike “on the outskirts” of Milan there are many spectacular areas and valleys waiting for you. Enjoy the views over the lakes, Monte Rosa, Bernina and the western Italian and Swiss Alps like Masino-Bregaglia. Come and spend a day in the mountains! Go hiking for enjoying the beauty of the Italian mountains, surrounded by nature, culture, landscapes and breath taking views. In one day hike you have the chance to taste regional food on request!

From Milan you can reach for your day trekking:

  • Lecco, its wonderful and dolomitic Grigne and Valsassina
  • Como and Triangolo Lariano mountains (Bellagio riviera) and its spectacular views of the lake and the Alps. You can hike on easy peaks, along wide ridges where there are several Mountain huts and shelters
  • Varese, very close to Malpensa airport, allows us to reach its wooded mountains over Lake Maggiore.
  • Valtellina and Valchiavenna offer extraordinary paths through alpine pastures, peaks with incredible alpine views. Valtellina offers many valleys: Retics on the border with Switzerland and Orobie on the border with Bergamo.
  • Valleys of Bergamo with the splendid and very green Orobie Bergamasche.
  • Come and spend your free day in Milan on the Alps!
