Monte Due Mani, Mountain summit in Valsassina, Italy.
Monte Due Mani is a mountain in the Bergamasque Prealps reaching 1.666 meters, sitting between Lake Como and the Grigna and Resegone massifs. Its two prominent peaks shape the landscape of the Valsassina valley.
The mountain's name comes from its two distinct peaks that resemble raised hands, a name given by those who lived in the valleys below and knew it well. This nomenclature shows how local geography has shaped the naming of landmarks in this region.
For residents of Valsassina, this mountain is woven into family life, where generations climb together and pass down their mountaineering knowledge. The regular visits to the summit are part of the rhythm of the valley's communities.
The mountain is accessible from three different starting points: Culmine di San Pietro, Ballabio, or Moggio, with routes suited for hikers of intermediate experience. Trails cross exposed rock sections, so proper mountain gear and sturdy footwear are essential.
From the summit cross, visitors gain panoramic views extending far beyond the immediate terrain, reaching toward Lecco city and portions of the Brianza lakes region. On clear days, the outlook stretches to reveal landscape details that reward the effort of the climb.
