Granite Trail at Lake Mergozzo

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The path leads past Lake Mergozzo,
with its destination, Mergozzo, a place that will surely awaken joy.
Nature and stone in fine harmony –
come with us, the path invites you.


At Montorfano, proud and grand,
granite was formed here – ancient, magnificent.
Crystals sparkle, white and black,
a stone with primeval resin.


For centuries, stone has been quarried,
as far as Rome and Milan, it bore its radiance.
A hiking trail with views and splendor,
tells you of the power of the rock.

Sentiero Azzurro

Highlight • Trail

The hiking trail runs along the north side of Mount Montorfano, which is just 794 meters high. What makes it so special, however, is that it is made of a single block of white granite, hence the many quarries that have been operating there for centuries. The columns of the Church of San Paolo Fuori le Mura in Rome were carved from this white granite from Montorfano.

Entering the Continental campsite you risk getting lost among the countless internal paths, the gates are all closed, you can only go out through the main entrance of the campsite.

Since it had rained a lot in the last few days, the waterfall was also a bit bigger
