From the square in Limonta, behind the “Muraglione”, built in the mid-19th century by the Archdukes of Austria, take path no. 23 towards Limontasca.
After 20–25 minutes of ascent you reach the junction with the small chapel dedicated to Saint Anthony, where you must continue on the left, still along path no. 23.
After about 30–35 minutes of climbing through the woods, you reach another junction, where you again take the path to the left.
After 50–60 minutes from the start, you arrive in a valley called Val di Voglia, near a small stone building (casello) and a carriage road (uphill, leading to the locality of Civenna2).
At the casello, continue keeping the stream on your left, follow the track through the woods and then turn right along a section of trail that, in a few minutes, emerges, near a bend, onto the Limontasca carriage road.
At this point, follow the road to the left for a few hundred metres until you reach a junction.
At this junction, take the dirt road on the right which ends in front of the gate of a villa.
Then continue to the left, take a descending staircase and walk along a small road that ends at the provincial road, near the beautiful villas of Guello.
Proceed to the right along the road for about thirty metres, until you reach a staircase on the right descending among the houses of Guello.
Follow it as far as a gate.
On the right side of the gate, follow the barely visible descending trail that, in a few minutes, leads to the Masso Avello, also called Tomba Romana (about 1 hour and 20 minutes from the start).
The Masso Avello is also known as the “Navellone” and is made of sarizzo stone.
These stones, known as “Avelli”, are ancient tub-shaped tombs carved from erratic boulders detached from Valtellina and Valchiavenna and transported further down-valley by melting glaciers in the Quaternary period.
The tomb of Guello, possibly dating to the Roman era, was also carved from an erratic boulder; until a few years ago it had a stone cover which was later stolen, leaving the tomb in a state of abandonment.
In the same area there was, until 1914, another tomb made from a block of sarizzo, later demolished to obtain building stone.
From this area, below the former Albergo Guello, descend to the lower path and follow it for a very short stretch until you reach a junction where there is a ruined casello.
Then take the path to the right (called Strada Nova, as it was traced only after World War II).
The path on the left (no. 25), instead, leads directly to Limonta.
This section, badly damaged by neglect and by water erosion, is noteworthy because among the chestnut woods you can see ruins of ancient buildings and the boulders that fell in the mid-19th century.
Some of these boulders reached almost as far as the village square, forcing the Austrian government to build the “Muraglione” to protect the settlement.
The path to follow, after 10–15 minutes, leads to Limontasca, and once you reach the main road, among the houses, you must go left to the end of the road, where there is a white villa.
At this point, follow path no. 23 to Limonta, downhill, until you reach the junction already encountered on the outward route, and then follow the same path back to the square in Limonta (50–60 minutes of descent).
From the square in Limonta, behind the “Muraglione”, take path no. 27.
After a few metres you come to a fork on the left that climbs towards the locality of Scìresöo; ignore this turn and continue along the main path, which climbs steeply, passing the small buildings (caselli) of Casinul, Facin, La Tana and Preda.
Near the last casello, now abandoned, follow the trail in the woods behind it.
With a steep ascent, this section ends at the junction known as the “zona dei pozzi” (“well area”) after 30–35 minutes of walking.
Along this stretch, especially on humid days, you need to pay some attention because the ground can be slippery.
At the junction, take the path on the right, signposted for Makallè.
After 10–15 minutes of walking, it meets another marked path on the left.
In this case as well, continue straight ahead until you reach the vicinity of Cà Elisa (20–25 minutes).
Then climb along the path, which comes out onto a carriage road.
Follow the road which, after a slightly downhill false flat, descends to the village of Chevrio.
At the junction, just after the descent, take the small road on the left which leads to the village square, where you have to go up along the path on the left.
After 15–20 minutes on this comfortable path, which cuts through the woods above Chevrio, you return to the junction already seen earlier; follow the route in reverse, turning right and continuing as far as the other junction previously encountered (Limonta no. 27).
Then take the waymarked path on the left (paying attention, as the descent is very steep), which returns to Limonta in 20–25 minutes, following the same path already taken and passing near the caselli.
Start from Limonta (main square) and follow trail no. 17 [EE] to reach the Chapel of Our Lady of Sumpiazzo, which offers a spectacular view of the lake.
It is possible to descend to Vassena along trail no. 18 [E] and then return.
Continue uphill on the same trail towards Civenna 2.
Here you will meet trail no. 27 [E] (Breva e Tivano).
Follow it north to reach Civenna 2, then descend back to Limonta (main square) along trail no. 21 [E].
Start from Limonta (main square) and follow trail no. 21 [E] to reach Limontasca, where it meets trail no. 27 [E].
Follow this trail to the right towards Guello.
Take the short detour to visit the Masso Avello, then continue to Chevrio and join trail no. 27C [E] to reach a beautiful viewpoint over the Lecco branch of Lake Como.
Return along trail no. 27B [E] to Limonta (main square).
Start from Limonta (main square) and follow trail no. 29 [EE] to reach Visgnola, a hamlet of Bellagio.
From here, walk through the village streets to the beginning of trail no. 27 [EE], and follow it to reach Makallè / Chevrio.
For the return, take trail no. 27B [EE] back to Limonta (main square).
