WHY THIS HIKE
Corni di Canzo autumn traverse
In November the Corni di Canzo change colour: the beeches turn copper, the air gets clear and from the ridge you see Lake Como, the Brianza lakes and the plain all at once. This time we skip the usual route: with the Guidders we do the traverse, from one horn to the other.

The experience
From Valmadrera we head up to San Tomaso and take the 30° OSA path, the steeper and rockier side, with a few spots where your hands help. From the Eastern Horn we follow the ridge to the Western one, the highest of the three. We go down the Traverso path to Rifugio SEV for lunch and close the loop on the geological trail, through woods and glacial boulders.
