Summit cross and brilliant view

a classic from the Varese area. It's worth it.

Unfortunately, you can no longer see all around because the trees have grown too high. But there is a fantastic view towards Varese. The descent in a northeasterly direction (towards Larese) is not recommended because there are so many trees and branches (storm?) blocking the path, and the alternative paths are rocky, steep and sometimes slippery. Poles recommended.

A beautiful climb leads to this pass, which is very famous among bikers in the area and also beautiful for a nice cycling trip. There are no views from the pass, but the two roads that lead to it are very scenic with views of the lakes!
