From Cainallo, the path leads via narrow trails and the Via Ferrata CAI Mandello to the summit of the Grigna Settentrionale (2409 m) and then back down via the Sentiero attrezzato di Grignone.

The Grigna is a mountain group on the eastern extension of Lake Como. It has two prominent peaks, the Grigna Settentrionale or Grigone (2409 m) and the Grigna Meridionale or Grignetta (2177 m), which in turn are divided into many small individual peaks. Our route runs over short via ferratas and steep hiking sections that are almost continuously secured by ropes.
