People who knows Alps normally think that Legnone is the first (Western) summit of Alpi Orobie ... NO, its minor brother Legnoncino (Small Legnone) is more to the West and its woody slopes are the ones that enter in the Como lake. Even if it is 900 lower than its big brother the Legnoncino looks a smart summit from all the sides, but especially from the opposite (W) side of the lake. The short and comfortable walk to gain its summit, the wonderful meadows just little below the summit on its N side and the bucolic vicinities make this summit normally well frequented, but not crowded : the road to arrive to the starting point of the hike is a little too narrow for many drivers. |
