The Monto Rosso rises directly from the city of Verbania. The summit does not reach an impressive height, but it is ideal for a short, brisk mountain run. The 400 meters of elevation can be conquered either on the winding road or, far more fun, on steep trails. From the summit you have a beautiful view over the Golfo Borromeo and towards Omegna.
