A couple of notes: excursion with little exposure to the sun (not ideal in late autumn) and with few panoramic points; not a circular route and which ends... in nowhere (I didn't even realize I had reached the end). Tip: continue for a few minutes to the end of the path. You will then arrive at …

Cannobio with its beautiful promenade is definitely a visual highlight. Be sure to order an ice cream 🍨😁 refreshed, you can then set off for the almost deserted mountain village of Carmine Superiore. It's quite a steep climb, but there are lovely, shady old stone paths. You pass a few old ruins and then the view of the village opens …
