ポルレッツァの絶景の山頂・トップ20

We parked the car to go on an excursion to Mount Generoso

Classic home peak. If the weather permits, a magnificent view opens up over the Intelvi Valley and Lake Como, and Bellagio in particular, and the first peaks of the Alps. Tip: try to climb to the top on a full moon evening, the spectacle of the lights of the Valley and the Lario and Ceresio lakes will repay the effort.

The Ghisallo climb is a legendary one.

VERY NICE PLACE FOR CYCLISTS

Stunning view of the Lario from the top of Pizzo della Croce

Madonna at the Orimento mouth

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

The path passes from the beech forest to the jagged ridges of the Denti della Vecchia, a series of peaks in the Lugano Prealps of which Sasso Grande is the highest.
