Cima di Piazzo

At an elevation of 2,057 m (6,749 ft.), and with a prominence of 140 m (459 ft.), Cima di Piazzo forms part of the Bergamasque Alps and Prealps. It is situated near the town of Cremeno, in the Lecco province of Lombardy, Italy.

Cima di Piazzo is a treat for hikers in any season; it is even better when visitors combine their trip with a visit to Monte Sodadura. The hike itself is beautiful and provides breathtaking views of the area from the ridge. In winter, it is great for skiing and snowshoeing.

Hikers can begin their trek from the Rifugio Sassi Castelli. The hike meanders over a couple of mountains, then passes Cima di Piazzo, where visitors can ring a bell under the Madonnina to announce their arrival before they head past Rifugio Cazzaniga Merlini. The route ends close to Refugio Nicola, where visitors are treated to a visit to an unnamed, but beautiful, church.
