Hiking Trails & Scenic Walks

The territory surrounding Villa Wirnica is a paradise for hikers, offering trails that range from relaxing strolls to alpine challenges.
For a leisurely experience directly from the villa, the Lake Garlate Loop (Anello dei Laghi) is a flat, scenic route of about 20 km that encircles the lake. It passes through the historic Abegg Silk Museum in Garlate and the Manzonian district of Pescarenico in Lecco, offering constant water views without demanding climbs.
If you prefer panoramic mountain views, the Monte Barro Regional Park stands immediately above Garlate. Here, you can explore the Archaeological Park at Piani di Barra, featuring 5th-century Gothic fortifications, or hike the spectacular Sentiero delle Creste (Ridge Trail), which offers a unique 360-degree view over the Brianza lakes and the Alps.
For a high-altitude adventure, take the cable car from Lecco to Piani d’Erna (1,300m). From here, you can walk the educational Nature Trail through beech forests or begin the ascent to the summit of Monte Resegone (1,875m), the iconic jagged mountain described by Alessandro Manzoni, which dominates the Lecco skyline.
