Pleasant. Be very careful when cutting through the woods or taking the short route. The gentlest route, starting from Rasa keeping to the right, is suitable for practically everyone.

Unfortunately, you can no longer see all around because the trees have grown too high. But there is a fantastic view towards Varese. The descent in a northeasterly direction (towards Larese) is not recommended because there are so many trees and branches (storm?) blocking the path, and the alternative paths are rocky, steep and sometimes slippery. Poles recommended.

Being close to the path it is worth a detour for the view. Better to go back, the hiking trail that starts from here is too broken down and also requires pushing with little fun.
