MONZA Speaks English

Join us for a social hike to Monte San Primo (1682m), followed by a hearty lunch in the fantastic Rifugio Martina! The hike offers breathtaking views of Lake Como and the surrounding mountains.

WHAT WE'LL DO:

We will meet at the parking lot at 8:00 and start hiking. The way up to the summit takes about 2 hours. We'll enjoy the views, then head back down and eat some POLENTA (or whatever else you want).

If you need a ride from Monza, we will set a time and meeting point.

COSTS:

€20-30 per person for lunch

There are a couple of parking options there, and they are most likely free, but bring some cash just in case.

WHAT TO BRING:

• Small backpack with water, snacks and essentials
• Jacket or hoodie
• Hiking shoes or sneakers

Before entering the gym, you will be asked to fill out some paperwork.

I'M A BEGINNER - CAN I COME?
If you've never climbed before and want to give it a go, come along. We're not arranging a lesson with an instructor, but it CAN be arranged for another time if there's enough interest. Otherwise, there will be some experienced climbers there to give you tips.
