Rank : 8.5 (average on 2 votes)

Coordinates : 46.060296089393354, 9.218824246067582 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : From the Menaggio Refuge you can admire a splendid view of Lake Como; I recommend continuing for 10-20 minutes after the refuge along the path to the summit of Monte Grona, from which you can photograph the same panorama but with a better close-up, without trees in front.

Recommended equipment : Wide angle, standard zoom, tele zoom, tripod.

Best months : The refuge is open in the summer; depending on the weather, it is possible to reach the area even in spring and autumn, but in this case you will not be able to lean on the refuge for overnight stay and dinner.

How to get there : There is a convenient and free parking in the village of Breglia (46.053924684955504, 9.234964968599627); from here it is about 650 meters of difference in altitude (an hour and a half of good pace, two hours going quiet). Alternatively, you can continue by car to the "Parking Grona", along a couple of kilometers on a paid road (3 euros / day, you pay at the beginning of the road). From the Grona car park the hike has only 300 meters in altitude and takes about an hour, at a quiet pace.

Visits : The area can be visited freely; the refuge offers (obviously for a fee) both overnight stay and half board.
