The first good news is that this Tour is the simplest of the entire "Without ever arriving in Grigna" collection. The second is that this Tour is also one of the most interesting low-altitude routes in the Grigna from a historical, naturalistic and geomorphological point of view. Every time I…

October 30, 2025,Grigna Gebirge 👌von Cainallo über Porta di Prada zum Rifugio Bietti Butzzi 🔄🥰

Many thanks 🙏 to @Federica for this tour suggestion in your Grigna Collection. We experienced a truly impressive hike here on this magical autumn day. Curious about more, I've already snagged another tour from you for later 🙃🤓🥰.

August 3, 2024,Porta di Prada e Rifugio Bietti Buzzi da Alpe Cainallo

August 3, 2024
On the Grigne, in the province of Lecco, there is a curious limestone rock formation in the shape of an arch that takes the name of "Porta di Prada", formed through the erosion of karst processes over millions of years. The combined action of water and atmospheric agents has shaped the arch as we see it today, …

Today I started from the Cainallo paid car park. The parking meter near the Albergo Cainallo wasn't working and I was left wondering if I would get a fine for the whole walk. The route is very simple and almost always flat, there is a single point equipped with a chain but wide enough not to cause any worries. Leaving …

July 20, 2024,Salita al Rifugio Bietti-Buzzi nel Parco Regionale della Grigna attraversando la Porta di Prada - 1722 mt

End of July 2024. The sun shines on the rocky and unprotected sections of this challenging trail. A continuous up and down. Departure from a car park without a ticket machine (it is only a few kilometers below), the route winds through the woods and without great difficulty arrives at the beautiful Porta di Prada, a rock arch set in …

A nice ride but with a lot of frozen snow. Impossible to go without crampons. Especially the stretch that goes up to the Bogani and the stretch that from Bogani leads to the junction with the path that goes to Bietti.
