サンシーロの絶景の山頂・トップ20

Small church right at the top of Legnoncino, from which you can enjoy a panoramic view of Mount Legnone, the lake and the surrounding valleys. The small church is dedicated to one of 7 hermit brothers who lived in remote places on the mountains but visible from each other, who helped evangelize the Lario area

The Ghisallo climb is a legendary one.

VERY NICE PLACE FOR CYCLISTS

Wonderful view and ideal for staying longer and enjoying

The Ghisallo hill (Ghisall in Lombard) is a road pass that connects Valassina with the upper part of the Lariano Triangle. The crossing point, at an altitude of 754 m above sea level, is part of the municipality of Magreglio. A few meters from the pass there is a small church: the sanctuary of the Madonna del Ghisallo. Its name (according to an ancient legend) derives from a certain Ghisallo who in medieval times was attacked by bandits in that place and made a vow to the Madonna to build a church in his honor if he escaped. The sanctuary of the Madonna del Ghisallo The Ghisallo climb (from the north side) is traditionally covered by the Giro di Lombardia and has also been included several times in the route of the Giro d'Italia. For this reason, the Madonna del Ghisallo is particularly venerated by cyclists, and on the initiative of the then parish priest Don Ermelindo Viganò (1906–1985), in 1949 Pope Pius XII proclaimed her the universal patroness of cyclists. Next to the sanctuary you can find the Cycling Museum and the "Monument to the cyclist", designed and created by Elio Ponti, sculptor from Ponzate, Como. Source: Wikipedia

Wonderful walk, done on 06/07/24. I didn't reach the top, I was missing 100 meters of altitude, as the ridge was snow-covered and very sloping, and since I was alone I preferred not to risk it, certainly to be done again without snow.

Very beautiful peak above Lake Como. Beautiful view 🥰

The summit plateau of Monte Legnoncino is home to two small sacred monuments: + Firstly, a classic cross, the kind that often crowns mountain peaks. This one is built of iron framework. + Secondly, a figure of the Virgin Mary, the statue of the Mother of God is completely in white.
