Explanation
Hikers with experience of the mountains can make a detour to one of the neighbouring peaks, such as the Cima della Trosa (approx. 70 min.) or Madone (approx. 90 min.). The path passes through a delightful beech forest between the Alpe di Bietri and Bassa di Bietri. Beneath the Cimetta, you go down to Monti di Lego, which offers spectacular vistas over Lake Maggiore; meanwhile, the Capanna Monti di Lego refuge is on hand with food and accommodation if needed. Also in the vicinity are a small church and a little lake.
The descent continues via Al Passo on an easy path back to Mergoscia. Bus times should be noted in advance.
