Monte Cornaggia

Monte Cornaggia is a summit reaching 922 meters in Nebbiuno, Piedmont, with panoramic views of Monte Rosa, Mottarone, and the distant Monviso mountain ranges. Several hiking routes lead to the peak, with the main trail from Colazza passing by Parrocchiale Church and crossing the Riale Tiaschella stream.

Ancient mule tracks crisscross the mountain, used for centuries by local traders moving goods between Valle dell'Agogna and surrounding settlements. These historic paths still shape the hiking routes climbers follow today.

The path network carries traditional 'V' markers that connect several alpine pastures where seasonal grazing still happens today. These symbols show how hikers have used the same routes for generations and shaped the land together.

The climb from Colazza passes through changing landscapes and passes recognizable spots like the church, making navigation easier. Start early and pick dry weather, especially after rain, since streams and muddy sections can make the route more difficult.

An unusual rock formation called Sass Preiatecia, also known as Sasso del Diavolo, sits near Motta dell'Arbujera on the mountain. This distinctive stone has inspired local tales and legends, making it a surprising discovery for visitors exploring the peak.
