WHY THIS HIKE
A Brianza classic when the woods change colour
We start from Civate, among narrow lanes and old houses, and are soon in the woods. In autumn this is the most beautiful climb of the year: yellow and red leaves cover the path and between the branches you glimpse Lake Annone and the Resegone.

The experience
With the Guidders we pass the Romanesque abbey of San Pietro al Monte and climb to the summit of Monte Cornizzolo, where the view opens all around: from Monte Rosa to the Grigne, down to Lake Como sparkling below. We return the same way.
It is an intermediate hike: the climb is steady but with no technical difficulties, so some fitness is needed. Bring boots, water and a packed lunch.
Come with the Guidders: let's climb Cornizzolo together in autumn.
