Monte Cornizzolo

Monte Cornizollo (Lecco)

Monte Cornizzolo near Lecco is surrounded by lakes: Lago di Como, Lago di Annone, Lago di Pusiano, Lago di Alsèrio and Lago del Segrino. It is known for its challenging single trail descent over 1000 meters in altitude to Civate.

Description

In practice, you start the tour in Civate on Lago di Annone. The route now rides up and down at the foot of Monte Cornizzolo to Carella, where the actual ascent begins. This rides along an asphalt road that is car-free after the Alpe di Carella. Ascending curve after curve, you enjoy the view down to the many lakes and reach the Rifugio Marisa Consigliere along the way. The summit assault is imminent! To do this, you push your bike up the meadow for a while, but then deposit it at the first steep section. The summit is not far away, and the climb is worth it for the first-class view of the many lakes and the Po plain beyond. Back at the Rifugio, you follow the mountain road for a while on the descent, but then turn left onto the singletrail that rides directly to Civate. The trail is full of variety: sometimes fast, then challenging again; sometimes flowing, then rough again. Overall, however, the descent is only recommended for good riders with sufficient suspension travel. The trail ends right on the outskirts of Civate, where you started the tour beforehand.

The conditions are quite good at the beginning of June 24, although the spring was very wet in the region. Pleasant ascent, challenging descent, lots of loose stones. Overall panoramic tour with a technical descent.

Already at the end of January 24 best bike weather in the south of Lake Como. Top tour, with an exciting ascent to the summit cross (on foot) and a crisp descent with lots of rocks in the lower section.

Rode it on 11.2.23 - a leisurely ascent, great views from the summit and a really crisp descent that really packs a punch.

Thank you for this beautiful tour.
