Description

Update information

Characteristics

A truly entertaining and long ferrata leading to the peak of Monte Grona 1736mnm with stunning views of Lago di Como. At first glance, it seems that the peak will be humbled quickly. The opposite is true. The D difficulty section is really hard. Ferrata is length and quite difficult, so consider whether you will climb it, because there are several escape routes on the route, but it is not in front of the heaviest wall.There is not so many cramps here, but as a bonus we have a chain in addition to the classic rope, which slightly spoils the beauty of the climbing, but it makes it easier. Ferrata has 7 parts. There is a rest area between each section.

Arrival

Como Lake -> Menaggio -> Breglia -> A few hundred meters of toll road (3 Euros / 24hrs) can be continued to the Park at Lesa (SUV needed:)).

Approach

From the parking lot to the Menaggio hut (can refill water), around the Pizzo Coppa summit, and a few meters of altitude go down slightly, according to the signs of the Ferrata.

Exit

We have three variants of descent from Monte Grona.
1) Walk around the ferrata on the classic road to the top, then to the cottage and the parking lot.
2) Go to Forcoletta, then to the cottage and parking.
3) Go to the Sant´Amate saddle and to the parking lot.
