Tips from the Community

Attention. If you descend towards Cuasso al monte towards the disused hospital, former sanatorium, the road is then blocked by a huge, insurmountable gate. Apparently, there is a path to the left of the hospital buildings. Right in front of the gate to exit, you can climb onto the low wall (there are steps) which is quite high and by doing so, following it for 20 meters, you avoid this barrier. Be careful, especially if you have a bike, of brambles and not falling.
