The Sentiero Attrezzato degli Stradini connects the Piani d’Artavaggio to Piani di Bobbio along the east and south side of the Zucco Pesciola, with stretches equipped with ropes and corners, wide views of Lake Lecco and Valsassina. Suitable for neophytes who want to approach the paths equipped in a context of low technical difficulty but of great satisfaction landscape.

The starting point is the mountain station of the cable car at Piani d’Artavaggio (1650 m), in the province of Lecco. From Lecco follow the Val Sassino, cross Ballabio and the hamlet of Balisio, then turn right following the signs for Moggio and the cable car of Artavaggio (street close to the plant). The plant dates back to Piani d’Artavaggio in a few minutes.

From the mountain station (1650 m) follow the wide uphill path towards the Cazzaniga and Nicola Refugees. Next you take the signs for Malga Campelli, then continue until the Bocchetta del Faggio (approx. 1900 m), where the Sentiero degli Stradini becomes well visible in front of us. The path cuts halfway through the southern slope of the Zucco Pesciola: take a stretch with a slight descent bypassing a slope, then pass a spigolo assisted by the fune and continue slightly uphill. The path alternates grassy cenges and rocky steps, with additional stretches equipped where the chains guarantee safe progression on the most exposed points. Finally, you reach the Piani of Bobbio (1641 m) and the Lecco Refuge (2h from the starting point).

Easy path, free of challenging technical steps. The exhibition is present but not excessive. The route is accessible in both directions, making it versatile as approaching Ferrata Zucco Pesciola or Ferrata Mario Minonzio that develop on the Piani di Bobbio.

From spring to autumn. The Artavaggio cable car has seasonal hours: check the opening before leaving. If the cable car is closed you can reach Artavaggio on foot from the bottom with about 1h additional.

From Rifugio Lecco to Piani di Bobbio you can descend with the cable car of Bobbio or on foot to Valsecca. Alternatively, go back to Artavaggio on the same path (4h 30 min overall for the ring).
