January 23, 2026, Da Canzo a Canzo per i Corni di Canzo

Four years have passed since my last visit to the three Corni di Canzo, and today I returned following a different route. From Canzo, I took the Via delle Alpi to Terz'Alpe and, from there, the direct route to the Corno Occidentale, the highest, avoiding the via ferrata. I continued to the Corno Centrale and, passing by the SEV refuge, to the lowest and easiest of the three, the Corno Orientale. To return to Canzo, I followed the Sentiero Geologico. On the Western and Central routes, there are several very difficult sections, where you must climb without ropes or chains.

Canzo Rifugio SEV, ascent from the geological path, descent from the forest path. On the climb to the Sev refuge there is a small piece of unnecessary back and forth done only because we took the wrong path
