Monte Colmegnone: excursion on Lake Como
Mount Colmegnone is a very panoramic peak overlooking Lake Como. There are several paths to reach it: from the lake, starting from Laglio, Moltrasio or Carate Urio, from the Intelvi Valley (starting from Alpe Cerano) or from the road that goes up to Monte Bisbino .
Today we will talk to you about this last itinerary, the route that leads to Monte Colmegnone starting from the Monte Bisbino road since it is simple and suitable for everyone.
Furthermore, for those who want to walk less, you can also cover part of it by car on a dirt road, but we do not recommend this. Better to walk, right?
From Monte Bisbino to Monte Colmegnone: how to get there
The road to Monte Bisbino starts from Cernobbio, practically from the center. You have to go up towards the characteristic village of Rovenna (where the small but spectacular Sentee di Sort ) and follow the road up to Monte Bisbino (1,325 m above sea level).
Continue for approximately 15 km until you reach the “Ca' Bossi location”, located a few hairpin bends from the summit. You can park your car and take the “ Via dei Monti Lariani ” in the direction of Rifugio Bugone (there is a sign with the indication).
Following the slightly downhill road you will soon reach the Bugone Refuge , continue the route with various ups and downs until you reach the Murelli Refuge, where you can take a short break and from where it is already possible to glimpse Mount Colmegnone .
Shortly after the Murelli the farm road branches off, keeping to the right you reach the Agriturismo Roccolo San Bernardo above which, after a small, steeper climb, you will find the summit.
At the top of Colmegnone you can enjoy a dizzying view of the Lake Como basin below, and on clear days the view opens from the Apennines to the Swiss Alps .
