Monte Camoscio

Beautiful walk above Lake Maggiore

The very steep path, but the view from the top is priceless! About 1.40 hours of walking! But it's worth it!

Very well developed via ferrata. Impressive view and panorama of Lake Maggiore. Return via via ferrata not permitted. A little practice beforehand can't hurt.

This time only treking I have to say challenging walk but far rewarded by the magnificent view from up there

Great hike (start via tranquilla, approx. 1 hour) over hill and dale with a wonderful view as a reward! Walking shoes are recommended.

Walk to do in every season. The path is steep but if you train in an hour at a good pace and without pauses you will reach the viewpoint of Mount Camoscio. The view repays you from the effort, it is wonderful. A 360 ° on lake maggiore. If you have enough time and energy, the advice, for the return, is to make the ring passing from Alpe Vedabia. The walk will be much longer and more demanding but the descent will be gentler.

Climb with 600 meters of altitude difference, suitable for medium training, with suitable trekking shoes, steep the climb in the first part but once you arrive you are rewarded for the effort .. a natural terrace on Lake Maggiore, mergozzo, Val Grande .. there are no points of water so take it with you, in abundance depending on the period you climb ... beautiful path that also weaves the small open-air picasass museum in the woods. equipped with equipment and experience. In a couple of points I also use the hands but not difficult, indeed fun ... pay attention to the descent, I recommend tranquility and look carefully at the path for the presence of stones and slope .... overall highly recommended. .. good trekking to all

I would say suitable for those who have at least an average workout. The summit (which in this case can be said to be a minimum to be conquered) deserves a lot, especially on clear days. 360 degree panorama of Lake Maggiore with the Borromean Islands, the Lombard Prealps, the peaks of Valgrande, Mottarone, etc. You can leave the car in the area called, here on google maps, "departure via ferrata picasass". (In fact, to climb to the summit you can ALSO choose two different via ferrata, provided you are equipped and know what a via ferrata is ?). The walk, on the other hand, is 2 hours at a leisurely pace (1 hour and a half from the sign, but with a brisk pace and a few breaks) for 600 meters in altitude (not to mention the loss of altitude, which in any case are almost absent). Altitude of the top 890 meters. The path is quite steep, especially in the first half. Several nice passages on large granite rocks, where a minimum of attention is required. Good signage (although the intermediate times are sometimes a bit fanciful). Except for a couple of turns in the initial part, where the signs will guide you, there will then be a single path to the top. Sources of water not present: bring a good quantity, also based on the temperature of the period in which you go. Coming out of the initial wood, the panoramic points will begin to increase. It will take some effort to get to the top, but once you get there you will realize that it was worth it. Pay particular attention then to the return downhill, given the slope. Never walk thoughtlessly in the mountains. Always relaxed, but present ? Good Adventure!
