The island mountain Monte Barro is a phenomenon: less than 1000 m high, but completely free-standing, with lakes all around and a fascinating view. Migratory birds like to stop off at the summit on the edge of the Alps, and in spring it is as lush as it is species-rich. Over a thousand different plants have been recorded. Erratic boulders from the Bernina region are a reminder of Monte Barro's "icy" past, when the Adda glacier flowed around its flanks. And on the western flank of the mountain, early Christian buildings (5th/6th century) and the remains of a fortress wall with three towers have been uncovered. The Museo Archeologico near the church of Santa Maria (former hermitage) presents extensive finds (open May to September Wed 14-17, Sat and Sun 10-12 and 14-17, at other times only Sat and Sun).

Departure from Galbiate, via Don E. Sironi. A tough path that at times "breaks the legs." Extremely scenic and evocative.
