RIFUGIO MENAGGIO A BALCONY ABOVE THE COMO LAKE
Rifugio Menaggio is located near the Grona Mountain, one of the most amazing panoramic points of the Como Lake. You can enjoy an incredible landscape view from the top of Lario to Lecco, with the beautiful Bellagio peninsula in the center.
The view is framed by the eastern mountains of the Como Lake, Mount Legnone, the Grigna, Grignetta and the peaks of the Larian triangle. Rifugio Menaggio (1383m) is open almost all year round and can only be reached on foot, starting from the Breglia Mounts above Menaggio (about 1,30 hours walk).
"This refuge was the last stop of our long trekking in 2000. We left Valchiavenna at the end of March and walked for 4 days to the Rifugio Menaggio. We have come back here other times and this small refuge combines a rustic style with a unique view of the Como Lake. The walk from the Breglia mounts is great for a day trip. If you want to go there, we recommend reaching the peak of Mount Grona "
Fabio and Paolo
The facility is well organized and is great for a day trip or as a resting place for hikers of the Via del Lario and visitors to the climbing routes and via ferrata (Del Centenario route) of Mount Grona. From the refuge, you can reach the peak of the Mount Gona following the easy main route. You can also continue northwards on the panoramic ridge up to the peak of Mount Bregagno.
