Corni di Canzo

Lombardy

The two rocky summits of the Corni di Canzo rise abruptly from chestnut and beech forest, their twin profile visible from much of the Brianza plain below. A network of trails, some following old charcoal-burners' paths, climbs steeply to a ridge with views spanning from the Grigne to the Milan skyline on clear days. The area has long been a proving ground for Lecco's climbing clubs.
