    Route with fantastic view over Lake Como. Starting from the Church of San Bartolomeo above Sorico. Path through the woods to Alpe di Mezzo. From here climb under the pylons or to Bocchetta di Chiaro where there is the famous swing with breathtaking view. For those who want to continue, a quite steep climb to the top of Monte Berlinghera. For the return, go straight down with lake view, to the beautiful village of Alpe Pescedo, great for a picnic. We continue straight following the route also used by mountain bikes and descend through the woods back to the starting point.

    Author’s recommendation

    Ideal for families. I suggest arriving early for parking. The road up is not very wide and you often meet other cars with some difficulty passing. Done in February… I think it is too crowded in summer. NB: no refreshment points along the entire route.

    Safety information

    In winter the climb from Bocchetta di Chiaro to the summit is in the shade and with risk of ice. Better to have crampons with you.
