Trail Reviews
This is a tour for sunny days as it runs mostly in the forest. At the end, a fantastic view of several lakes awaits. Refreshment stop in Arcumeggia at Locanda del Pittore.
A nice tour, not too demanding, but at a good pace. Departure from the entrance to the military road, which from just below Sant'Antonio leads to San Martino in Culmine, where the church and the panorama reign supreme. Suggestive visit to the monumental cemetery dedicated to the Partisans who perished during the resistance. Return via Monte Colonna, with the tunnel redoubt just below the summit, and Monte Ganna, with its Madonnina clinging to the rock. Descent to San Michele, where I recommend visiting the frescoes of the ancient Church, and stop at the refreshment point for a sumptuous lunch. Finally, descent towards Sant'Antonio from the old coastal path.
