Alpe Legnone, what a great panorama!

The starting point is in the locality Piazza Calda, a mountain pasture at 1,165 m altitude. The signs for the destination - Alpe Legnone - invite you to enter the forest beyond the huts. The trail is wide and well marked. A point of interest in this first part of the route is the "Zoca de la Naaf", a basin with tall trees - called "of the ship" for unknown reasons - at 1,420 m asl. The forest limit is around 1,500 m. The trail then climbs the meadows of the vast Alpe Legnone, passing near two abandoned mountain huts.

The Baitone di Legnone is a refuge at 1,690 m asl, which with two other huts forms a small cluster above. The structure is in a truly panoramic position, from Lake Como to the Middle Valtellina; some of the most recognizable peaks are Sasso Manduino (2,888 m), Monte Disgrazia (3,678 m), Pizzo Scalino (3,323 m). The Baitone is backed by Monte Legnone, with its north face dominating the southwest panorama.

The return follows the same route.
