Descent towards the Cannobina Valley
Mount Gridone (also named Limidario in Italy)
is the highest mountain that is mirrored by the placid waters of the
Maggiore Lake. The panorama from its summit is magnificent in every
direction you might look, but a even more outstanding show is the one he
offers to the people living at its foot, when the sun on his way to the
sunset stops for a while to play with the clouds, and the wind, mad with
jealousy, runs after them and breaks them all up.
This description proposes the climb on the side facing the lake, over
Brissago, while the descent is on the side of the Cannobina Valley. On
both sides the roads keep far away from the summit, which can be reached
only by narrow and steep mountain trails. Therefore this tour can be
accomplished only by strong and expert hikers.
