Tips: The tour can start on any day of the week. There are 3 day walks which are circular, the others are point to point. There are easy, moderateand demanding walks to choose from. The paths are clearly visible and well-marked; there are some sections of the trail which are rough and exposed. There are many ups and downs as you would expect in a mountainous region, and walking poles are definitely handy. If you are unable to walk, you can always ask, if the luggage transporter can take you with him when transporting your baggage, but this is not always possible and sometimes you have to pay a small fee locally.
Lugano and Milan’s Linate/Malpensa Airports are the closest ones and are served by many flights. Anyway, you can also flight in Bergamo Orio al Serio.
