Imposing church which is always perceived as a striking building from the lake. So you have to dare to look from above and take a closer look at the church. Be sure to go into the church courtyard and enjoy the view of the lake from there. The Church of Saints Eusebio and Vittore is a sacred building on a hill not far from the town of Peglio, a municipality in the province of Como.

The Cama lake (1265 m) After a walk of approx. 2.5 hours from Cama, you almost suddenly come across the Cama lake. Here you can take a nice regenerating and refreshing bath after the efforts of the climb. The lake remains frozen from around mid-November to the end of April, and is contained in a rocky basin closed downstream by torrential barriers and accumulations of debris detached from the Piz d'Ugin and Piz de Cressim above.
