AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Top AirVuz contributor Kpax brings us this stunning drone video from the mountains of northern Italy. The video was filmed at the Grigna massif in Lecco, one of the provinces of the region of Lombardy. The massif is part of the Bergamo Alps, which in turn are part of the Western Limestone Alps. Its highest peak sits at an elevation of about 7.9k ft. above sea level, or around 2.4k m. The video includes some shots of Rifugio Rosalba, one of several shelters located on the Grigne slops to aid mountain climbers.

- Report
The Grigne massif, which rises to an altitude of 2410 m in the heart of the Lombard Pre-Alps, is of great scenic interest due to its rugged and varied morphology, and views of Lake Como below. Leonardo da Vinci had noted in the “Codex Atlanticus” about the Grigna: “The biggest stones I discovered in these countries…” that in another note on the Grigna, he assured to have seen “fantastic things”. Leonardo visited these places on behalf of the Dukes of Milan, not only to observe wonderful things, but also to find iron ores that the Duchy was looking for. The Grigne still offer lush and interesting vegetation, intact ecological zones, and particularly important are the findings of fossils reported over time. The Grigne group has two main peaks: the Northern Grigna (2410 m) commonly called Grignone, and the Southern Grigna (2177 m) called Grignetta.
