Monte Bul is a mountain located in the municipality of Caglio, in the province of Como, in the Larian Prealps, with an altitude of about 1,406 meters. This mountain is part of the Dorsale Lariana Como-Bellagio and, although it is less known than the nearby Monte Palanzone, it offers spectacular views of the Lambro Valley, Lake Como and the surrounding mountains.
The climb to Monte Bul is a challenging hike, suitable for hikers with good physical preparation. The route, which generally starts from Caglio or Sormano, passes through woods and clearings and has steep sections, making the climb quite tiring but rewarding. Once at the top, you can enjoy a panoramic view that extends over the lake and the surrounding peaks.
From Monte Bul, it is possible to continue towards other peaks of the Larian Prealps, such as Monte Palanzone or Monte San Primo, creating a hiking ring that allows you to explore various peaks in the area. The best time to hike is in spring or autumn, when the climate is mild and the surrounding vegetation is particularly lush. It is important to check the weather and snow reports before starting the hike to ensure safety during the journey.
