Monte Cornizzolo

Monte Cornizzolo rises to 1241 meters above sea level between the provinces of Como and Lecco, featuring steep slopes and dense vegetation throughout its terrain.

Archaeological excavations on Monte Cornizzolo's slopes revealed a Mesolithic site, indicating the presence of hunter-gatherers who inhabited this region thousands of years ago.

The mountain houses the Marisa Consigliere refuge at 1100 meters elevation, which remains open every Sunday and throughout August for visitors to experience local traditions.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, with the Direttissima route from Suello offering a challenging ascent through a combination of staircases and rocky paths.

The mountain serves as an international paragliding launch site, accessible nearly year-round, where competitive events draw athletes from numerous countries to its takeoff field.
