“E’ dai tempi del paleolitico che la storia dell’uomo incrocia quella del territorio comasco, vuoi per necessità, vuoi per il fascino esercitato dalle vallate bagnate dall’acqua del lago e scavate dal tempo a ridosso dei monti. Con l’Età del Ferro (I Millennio a.C.) vengono a galla i nuclei fondativi di quello che sarà definitivo in epoca latina Comum Oppidum…”

Sighignola (1320 AMSL), also known as “Balcony of Italy” because of its wonderful views, one of the best in the region, is reachable by car and it is a “family friendly” excursion. We suggest to park and stop for a pause at the typical restaurant La Baita, then to follow the path through the beechwood in order to arrive the outlook. There are two roads to get to Sighignola, one from Italy and one through Switzerland (no highway access , no need for Swiss Highway Ticket).
A canyon dug by time and humankind. One way to get into the canyon, is from Morbio Superiore (upper access). The gorge is wide and it’s easy to walk more than an hour from your starting point, without noticing it! From the bottom of the valley, from the mill of Ghitello, the access is surely easier. Be careful of unprotected river banks.
Boots are recommended.

A nice footpath on the creekside, once an illegal landfill. The garden has benches and chairs for relaxing, but it’s strictly forbidden to picnic.

You can witness four hundred years of history by walking along the footpath of one of the most beautiful and singular place of the world, an island within a lake. The museum “Antiquarium”, where the remains of the oldest island fortifications can be observed, the Romanesque church of San Giovanni and the “ walkway of the artists” with its three rationalist houses of the early 20th century, are some of the treasures that the island hides. A unique “locus amoenus” where nature, art and beauty intersect and give you a sense of being out of space and time.
Round circuit starting and ending at the Cascina. Wooden gym tools are located all along the trail. An hidden crossroad (beyond the flat bench) leads to other newer tools. The footpath at the end of the trail, crosses the cobbled road that leads to the shrine, “Santuario della Madonna Assunta”. Suitable for whoever wishes to start his/her day with a good and healthy exercise.
