Gruppo Ragni della Grignetta
Stronger together. The “Spiders of Lecco” have been proving this for more than eight decades. Founded in 1946 by four young climbing enthusiasts, the association proved to be the best response to the post-war reality. For Giulio and Nino Bartesaghi, Emilio Ratti, and Gigino Amati, the mountains were a love at first sight – a place to pursue sporting ambitions and hang out with friends. They were soon joined by other enthusiasts, including Gigi Vitali. It was upon seeing his athletic performances that the famous Italian climber Tita Piaz is said to have exclaimed: “This man climbs like a spider!”, thus cementing the group’s name.

The Ragni di Lecco group was founded because…
The Ragni di Lecco group was founded on the idea that by combining the strengths of individuals, ambitious goals could be achieved, with each person contributing their own resources.
Over the course of 80 years, many distinguished climbers have joined the group, including…
...Riccardo Cassin, Walter Bonatti, Casimiro Ferrari, Carlo Mauri, Matteo Della Bordella, Matteo De Zaiacomo, and Luca Schiera.
The strength of Ragni di Lecco lies in…
...acting as a group within an individual discipline such as mountaineering.
In the group’s activities, the most important thing for us is…
...to achieve goals in an ethical and fair manner in the mountains.
In the future, we want to…
...continue climbing the most beautiful and difficult walls, both around the world and at home.
We perceive nature as…
...a context in which to move on tiptoe, respecting it and following its rules.
We decided to cooperate with LYOFOOD because…
...we share with them the same ethos of being a group dedicated to mountaineering and all activities that take place in the mountains.
