Excursion to the Sasso Canale: extraordinary view between Como, Valtellina and Switzerland

An intense and incredibly scenic trek along one of the most spectacular natural balconies of the Upper Lake Como area. Together with the Guidders, we will set off from San Bartolomeo, following a trail immersed in forests of pine, fir, beech, and oak trees, gradually climbing towards increasingly alpine and panoramic environments. The route follows a striking ridge that separates the Como side from the Swiss side, offering incredible views of Lake Como, Valchiavenna, and Valtellina. The final ascent to Sasso Canale is the most rewarding part of the excursion: from the summit, the view opens up to one of the most beautiful panoramas of the Alta Via del Lario. A demanding trek, perfect for trained hikers and lovers of grand vistas.
