The Piani dei Resinelli or Piani Resinelli is a plateau of the Lombard Prealps, in the province of Lecco. Within the territory there are municipalities: Abbadia Lariana, Mandello del Lario, Ballabio and Lecco, which are located on a wide saddle at the foot of the Grigne Group on the slopes of Grignetta. Many hiking trails lead from this location.

Pian dei Resinelli (1270 m) is located just above Lecco, at the beginning of Valsassina. It can be reached by car along several back roads.

The path starts from the Piani dei Resinelli where we parked the car near a balloon and from there the path leading to the Adventure Park and then the entrance to the Valentino Park is marked. And after a little while, you continue in the ash wood and beech trees begin to climb but it is not steep or only a few stretches and you reach the panoramic top of Mount Coltignone (1471 m) where you can admire the most beautiful panorama of Lecco, the Lake of Como, the Braintei Lakes, Monte Resegone and Monte Due Mani.

Then you return to the crossroads of the path for just a few minutes and then take the path to Cima Paradiso and admire the views of the Southern Grigna.

Next we took the path with bends downhill to reach the famous catwalk del Belvedere where there is a walkway that stretches for 12 meters overhanging the surrounding landscape where you can admire a wonderful view of the Lario and the city of Lecco, the Braintei Lakes and the surrounding landscapes.

Finally, after this last stage and the last path, the wonderful circular excursion led us to complete the tour, bringing us back to the starting point.
