Monte Carza/1116 m

 

 

The first part of the downhill

 

Mount Carza is the last stronghold of the chain of mountains that under the spur of Mount Zeda separates the Cannobina Valley from the valleys around Verbania, and finally decline into the Maggiore Lake. The two small islands that support the daring castles of Cannero are its last breath before sinking, and show the importance this mountain had during the past centuries. 

 

The climb described here starts in Cannero and leads to the summit of Mount Carza mainly running through paved roads. The descent is on the northern side of the mountain, which is covered only by tight paths and fire trails that leads back to Cannobio.
