    Wirklich tolle Strecke, lediglich die letzten 100m zum Gipfel waren etwas schwierig. Trotz E-Bike definitiv nicht fahrbar (Berg hoch) , weil zu steinig, steil und ausgewaschen. Aber oben angekommen wartet eine wunderschöne Aussicht auf einen.

    Great hike on Monte San Primo. Most of the hikers start from a car park on the Bellagio side but we like this route from Valesio very much. Parking is available. The walk up is very long, steep and demanding but is rewarded with a great view on Lago di Como. The Walk alongside the ridge is the best. Before the end we did a shortcut to Monti di Erno directly which saves some time. For the descent hiking poles make it a bit easier.

    Monté compliquée mais une fois en haut la vue est splendide. Malgré la difficulté, je pense qu'il vaut mieux faire le côté raide en montant plutôt qu'en descendant

    Parcours exigeant et très difficile pour marcheurs expérimentés. Attention le chemin est très peu balisé. Mise à part les refuges, il n'y a aucune source d'eau. En été prévoir au moins 3.5L / pers. Sur la deuxième partie du parcours possibilité de dévier du tracé proposé qui suit la route sur une bonne partie de la distance.

    Anello molto intenso nella prima parte, con dislivello importante in salita, per poi proseguire con una discesa lieve e piacevole su di un altro versante

    Absolut top Wanderung mit toller Aussicht. Etwas Kondition notwendig und gute Schuhe empfohlen. Einen Rast im Rifugio Martina sollte man unbedingt einlegen. Der Apfelkuchen ist eine Wucht.
