The Scala nel Cielo in the Campo dei Fiori natural park is an unforgettable postcard for anyone who decides to venture up to here. A panoramic point that offers a breathtaking view of the valley, with the Sacro Monte, the Po valley, Varese, the Rasa, the Valcuvia and Lake Lugano in the distance. The protective railing is adorned with fabrics and Tibetan prayer flags.

To take this route you need to be sure-footed, it goes along a rock high up to the transmission tower - with a great all-round view!

Path from the top not well marked, make sure you check your map to avoid missing the turn like I did, then having to come back from below.
