The summit plateau of Monte Legnoncino is home to two small sacred monuments:
+ Firstly, a classic cross, the kind that often crowns mountain peaks. This one is built of iron framework.
+ Secondly, a figure of the Virgin Mary, the statue of the Mother of God is completely in white.

With great regret today I saw the taming of the path that leads from the church of San Sphirio to the summit of Monte Legnoncino.

Nice ride with a splendid view of Lake Como. In going up directly to the legnoncino and in going down the military road.

Starting from Artesso, we reached the top of Mount Legnoncino, climbing about 500 meters.
The route takes place in a beautiful beech forest first and then in a pine forest, among splendid views of the upper Lake Como.
