For me, the small mountain above Lake Como is one of the most beautiful viewpoints on the Via dei Monti Lariani long-distance hiking trail. The ascent even leads through beautiful alpine terrain, which is really fun. A little surefootedness and a head for heights don't hurt.

Hiking

A few steps west of San Bernado, a few benches and a water point invite you to rest. In good weather, of course, with a great view of Lake Como.

The Sasso di Musso is an elevation that rises from the remains of the famous castle of Musso on the western shore of Lake Como, close to the much better known and imposing Monte Bregagno. An important attraction of the place are the remains of the Fortress of Musso, known for its proverbial impregnability: its famous inhabitant was Gian Giacomo Medici (known as the "Medeghino"), who from here carried out looting in the lakeside cities and who was convinced by the Milanese to abandon the castle only after the promise of the fief of Melegnano.
