Alpe del Viceré, Albavilla

Lombardy

A narrow road climbs from Albavilla to the Alpe del Viceré at around 900 m, once a viceroy's hunting estate, now a broad grassy balcony with barbecue areas and the Rifugio SEC. Easy paths lead up toward the Buco del Piombo cave and the Corni di Canzo, with the Brianza lakes and Milan haze below.
