The Attrezzato Path of Sileggio — in the municipality of Mandello del Lario, above the hamlet Sonvico — is a long and varied route that connects two ridges and two peaks through a four-metre fireplace and two metal stairs, the first of which overhanging. With about five hours of walking and 1100 m of altitude difference is a challenging itinerary, but the quality of the equipped progression and the landscape on the Lario pay off every effort.
Starting from the fraction of Sonvi (Mandello del Lario, LC). Take over trail 15 in the wood following the white-red markers to the pole of the marker 17B (Southeast Coast), reachable in about 45 minutes. From here you take the 17B signpost (blue signs) steep climb to the base of the Zucco di Tura, where the old cable car is located.
From the base of the cable car, the ground is more challenging: a slope with chains leads to the Zucco of Tura. Then follow the eastern ridge to a saddle where you will find a deviation for the Val d’ Era: ignore it and continue uphill towards the Zucco di Morterolo. The key passage is a 4-metre camino — the chain is located on the left but the best hooks are on the right. two metallic scales (the first overhanging, the second most supported) and a wall that climbs first diagonally then vertically up to the Croce of summit (1368 m s.l.m.).
Difficulty Moderately Difficult. The length of the route (10 km, 5 hours a/r with the stops) is the most characteristic of this route: it is not technically prohibitive but requires training and good resistance.
The descent takes place for 17B mark reversely, returning to Sonvico. Those who want to stretch can continue towards the Attreized Path of the River, crossing it in the opposite direction (+45 min). Total itinerary: 10 km, height difference 1100 m, estimated time 5 hours.
