This circular itinerary starts from the center of the village of Arogno, easily reachable by the PostBus and equipped with parking facilities. From the village core, follow the direction to Sighignola and, at the signposted intersection for Pugerna, turn towards the village.
The landscape of the upper Valle Breggia is absolutely one of my favorites. It is especially so after a fresh snowfall, but it fascinates me in all seasons.

Loop itinerary in the Monte Generoso Regional State Forest, in the heart of the upper Intelvi Valley, in the province of Como. I walked paths that give back the pure pleasure of walking and, along the route, I took a break at the welcoming agritourism of the Alpe di Gotta. A pleasant surprise, encountered after crossing the Hell Valley — a name that certainly did not suggest such a suggestive and harmonious place. I hypothesize that the toponym “gotta”, from the Latin gutta, drop, derives from the nearby spring.

Nobiallo è un borgo di Menaggio, sul lago del Lario, un tempo abitato da pescatori, coltivatori di vigne e cavatori di gesso presso la locale cava che, durante la costruzione delle nuove gallerie di Menaggio, è stata riempita dal materiale roccioso estratto dalla perforazione dei tunnel. Tra Nobiallo e la vicina Aquaseria ci sono resti dell'antica Via Regina, di epoca romana. Ho iniziato la camminata passando accanto alla falesia con la palestra di arrampicata e, dopo una breve salita, ho preso la pista ciclopedonale lungo la ex ferrovia Menaggio-Porlezza. In prossimità del lago di Piano ho lasciato la ciclopedonale per addentrarmi nell'omonima Riserva Naturale. Quindi, dopo il bell'oratorio romanico di San Maurizio del X-XI secolo (conosco il suo interno, ma è stato ugualmente un peccato averlo trovato chiuso al mio passaggio), sono arrivato sulle sponde del lago del Ceresio, che ho costeggiato fino alla svolta per la chiesa di Santa Giulia. Da Claino, ho proseguito senza difficoltà per la Valle Intelvi e ho terminato il giro al punto di arrivo. Sono partito da Nobiallo per raggiungere la Valle Intelvi, come ho già fatto negli ultimi anni in questo periodo, tra marzo e aprile. Posso dire che andare da Nobiallo alla Valle Intelvi è diventata una mia classica escursione primaverile..
