The Corno Centrale Canyon, located near Canzo, is a spectacular natural formation that develops within the suggestive mountain environment of the Lombard Prealps. This canyon is the result of the erosion of rocks by water over the millennia, creating deep gorges and rock formations of great charm.

The path to reach the canyon is immersed in nature and passes through woods and paths that offer panoramic views of the valley below. The area is perfect for excursions and trekking, with itineraries suitable for different levels of experience. While exploring the canyon, you can admire waterfalls, pools of crystal clear water and a rich variety of flora and fauna typical of the area.

The Corno Centrale Canyon is an ideal destination for those seeking an experience in contact with nature, far from the frenzy of the city. It is advisable to visit it in spring or autumn, when the climate is milder and the colors of the landscape are particularly vivid. The area is easily accessible from Canzo, which also offers starting points for other excursions in the area.
