I hiked the route from Cannobio today. Breakfast in St. Agatha, then the church of St. Luca, Alpe Marcalone, and then up to the summit. The rocky, stepped climb is rewarded with a magnificent view. It's deeply relaxing. It's recommended to use hiking poles for support, though, as there are many loose stones and large steps. It was almost 1,100 meters in elevation, and I'm 64.

It's definitely worth stopping by. The ham and cheese platters are delicious, and then you can enjoy the magnificent view. We cycled up on our mountain bikes; with battery support, it's manageable, but without it, it's quite challenging. At the beginning of April 2025, the hut was open from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The Orrido di Sant'Anna is a deep gorge carved out by the Cannobino torrent, not far from Cannobio. With its sheer rock walls and crystal-clear waters, it is an ideal destination on hot summer days, when many visitors stop to swim or explore the scenic paths that run alongside it. Nearby is a small church dedicated to Sant'Anna, dating back to the 17th century.

The Rio di Cinzago stream is crossed via a brick bridge. At this point, the stream has dug deep into the rock.
