Monte San Primo

Monte San Primo rises to an elevation of 1,686 meters as the highest peak in the Larian Triangle, offering views across Lake Como and surrounding Alps.

The mountain paths have connected local communities since medieval times, when shepherds established the first routes through the Lombardy region for livestock movement.

Local mountain guides maintain traditional climbing techniques and share regional geological knowledge through organized group expeditions to Monte San Primo's summit.

Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from Piano Rancio and Barni, with the Rifugio Martina providing shelter and refreshments 987 meters from the peak.

The mountain's position creates a natural observation point where visitors can see the three branches of Lake Como forming an inverted Y shape.
