Since the Madonna de Ghisallo is officially the patron saint of racing cyclists, the Passo Ghisallo is a monument to the Tour of Lombardy and the Giro d'Italia, and also, in general, because it is a wonderful place with a very beautiful climb, you should definitely go up here on your racing bike.

The Cippo Marelli is located in the Larian Triangle, more precisely on Mount Palanzone, in the Lombardy Prealps, in the province of Como. This commemorative monument is dedicated to Pietro Marelli, a partisan who fought during the Italian Resistance in the Second World War. The monument was erected in memory of his sacrifice and of all those who fought for freedom. The monument is located along a hiking trail that leads to the top of Mount Palanzone, and is an important stop for those who hike these trails, which also offer spectacular views of Lake Como and the surrounding mountains. The route that leads to the Cippo Marelli is characterized by fairly challenging mountain sections, but a visit to the monument is a good opportunity to reflect on the history and sacrifice of the partisans, while enjoying the natural beauty that surrounds the area. The Cippo Marelli is a destination of historical and cultural interest for hikers and for those who want to learn more about the history of the Resistance in the Lombardy Alps, immersed in a mountain environment of great charm.

Bocchetta di Nesso is an enchanting corner of the Larian Triangle, perfect for those seeking tranquility and breathtaking views. Located at about 1,200 meters above sea level, it is a natural passage that connects various paths in the area, offering suggestive views of the mountains and the valley below. It is an unmissable stop for trekking lovers, with routes suitable for both beginners and more experienced hikers. The Cippo Marelli, located nearby, adds a historical note to the route. This monument, dedicated to Pietro Marelli, invites you to reflect while immersed in the peace of the mountain. The path to reach it is well marked and fits perfectly into an itinerary that can also include the nearby Monte Palanzone or the Rifugio Riella. This area offers a perfect mix of nature, history and trekking, ideal for a day away from the frenzy of the city. An excursion here is a regenerating experience, to be enjoyed especially in spring or autumn, when the colors of the landscape are at their best.
