Chiesa Sant’Antonio al Monte (Porto Valtravaglia) Church of San Antonio sul Monte (Porto Valtravaglia) The origins of the church can be traced back a long way: the primitive Romanesque structures, still partially visible in the typical barrel-shaped interior, date back to around 1000/1200. In the past, on the day of San Rocco, patron of Nasca, the Naschesi would ascend to the small church in a large procession. The unique cave church, dedicated to Saint Anthony Abbot of the Desert, was also a well-known place of pilgrimage Text from the book "Municipality of Castelveccana - a land on the way".

📌 The entrance to the Monte Morissolo tunnels along the Cadorna Line.

The fortifications directly in the mountain below the summit belong to the so-called "Linea Cadorna". These were built along the northern border of Italy during the First World War. However, never used because Switzerland behaved neutrally.

Definitely take a strong flashlight with you if you want to go into the caves or catacombs. A little adventure for children.

If you follow the military road towards the summit, you will automatically reach the positions. These are freely accessible for everyone to visit. The iron gates can only be closed because of the animals and seem closed at first. Inside the positions there are also light switches, so that a visit in the dark is not necessary.

Panorama towards the southern part of Lake Maggiore and access to the tunnels of Monte Morissolo which can be reached by following the Cadorna road that starts from Piancavallo.

Hi, I hiked this trail last week with a very good friend, thinking of my son who recently passed away. I was proud of myself, sooo high. At the crosses I was close to him 🙏
