Description
Monte San Primo is a mountain peak reaching 1,686 meters in the hills above Lake Como. From the top, hikers can see across the lake and the surrounding Alpine landscape.

The paths on this mountain have been used since medieval times, when herders moved livestock through the Lombardy region. Later, the same routes became popular with climbers and hikers.
Culture
The mountain holds meaning for the surrounding communities, where local climbers share techniques and knowledge passed down through generations. The small villages and mountain huts below reflect how people have adapted their lives to live alongside this peak.
