This route is a nice and simple option to enjoy a marvellous view of Lago Maggiore.

From Alpe Quaggione, where you will leave your car, you will follow the evident path you will reach to summit of Monte Massone in few hours.

The excursion is simple, simply a little bit long, and not so much demaning in terms of stamina.

Water is not easy to find but there are some fountains on the path.
