Breathtaking views of Lake Como. The route is entirely in the sun, so bring plenty of water in the summer months!

A small cabin with a fireplace and sleeping accommodations. Unfortunately, when we arrived, there was no water left at the well in front of the house, except for a few drops.

A small high alpine pasture with a hut offering accessible shelter from the elements. A small fountain in front of the hut provides a beautiful view over the Ceresio Pass and across to Osteno.

Rifugio Menaggio, located at 1383 m, offers unique views of Lake Como. It is the ideal base for climbing Monte Grona, with via ferratas or challenging trails. It is a panoramic and welcoming point for every hiker, it is managed by the CAI and offers refreshments and overnight stays in the summer season.
