San Bartolomeo in Montibus stands alone halfway between Cinzago and Formine. If you are climbing from Cinzago towards Formine, you can take a break here: from this point on the path is all downhill. The church, with a Latin cross plan, houses precious 16th-century paintings. Due to its isolated position, surrounded by pastures and mountain pastures, it was a place of worship dedicated to the farmers and shepherds of the area. Every year, in August, the community of the nearby villages organizes the Feast of San Bartolomeo. Next to the church is a small cemetery.
