    La Ferrata Zucco Pesciola & a beautiful, challenging and panoramic Via delle Orobie over the Piani di Bobbio. Tests between fireplaces, diedri, climbing walls and ridge traits; its variante difficult & free; among the più traits; hard of the Italian railway landscape and should be faced only with excellent training.

    ▲Approach

    From the upstream station of the funivia dei Piani di Bobbio (from Lecco to Barzio, then to the plants). Open road signs on Google Maps. You climb along the slopes towards the Rifugio Lecco, then to the right the sentiero 30 (which becomes Path Attrezza degli Stradini) towards the Bocchetta di Pesciola, up to a rock with l' indication of the ' attack just off the path (' from the mountain station). Alternatively, it can be recognised; it can be reached by Plans d' Artavaggio per il Sentiero degli Stradini.

    ▲The path

    Si inizia risalendo un torrione: roccette a sinistra, poi balzi e placche verticali su buona roccia fino a un traverso esposto che ne chiude la cima. Un breve tratto di discesa attrezzato porta alla seconda parte: una parete con fessura e poi un diedro strapiombante dove la catena scorre a destra e gli appigli sono a sinistra (si procede in spaccata, con una seconda catena e una maniglia nel punto più sporgente). Seguono cresta, un breve camino (4 m), un traverso atletico in diagonale su staffe e un impegnativo diedro con traverso a destra. Si arriva a un bivio: a destra la via facile (un canalino arrampicabile in spaccata fino a una scaletta), in verticale la variante estremamente difficile (parete strapiombante povera di appigli, catena lasca, occhielli per sostare con un rinvio). Le due varianti si ricongiungono; un ultimo tratto verticale, una sporgenza e un camino con cambio moschettone portano a un breve sentiero di cresta. Dopo un tratto pianeggiante e l'ultima parete appoggiata si raggiunge la madonnina di vetta (1h 45' from the attack, 2h 30' total).

    ▲Character and difficulty

    Hard way with many challenging steps: diedri and chimneys in which it is recommended, if not obligatory, proceed climbing so as not to get too busy. The chain is sometimes lasca (the carabiner flows badly) but can be used almost everywhere to stop. It traces almost entirely the historical ferrata dedicated to Domenico Rebuzzini. Level difference in ferrata 190 m, total 426 m, maximum altitude 2161 m, development 6 km.

    ⚠ Along the way there are many detriti: be careful not to move them. The difficult and extremely difficult variante; extremely difficult , overhanging and poor of hooks: carefully evaluate their conditions at the crossroads.
    ▲Discipline

    Towards the plains of Bobbio you go east for obvious track to a mouth, where on the left you take the steep Canale Madonna which leads to the Valley of the Camosci; from here you descend west towards the Rifugio Lecco (1h from the end of the ferrata).

    ⚠ The return channel is exposed to the north and often remains snowed until late season: it can be dangerous, equip itself accordingly.
    ▲To match

    For experienced hikers, from the top you can reach the Zuccone Campelli and descend along the Ferrata Mario Minonzio.
