Cornizzolo

Monte Cornizzolo is a mountain situated between the province of Como and the province of Lecco, Lombardy, northern Italy, particularly in the territory of the village of Canzo.

The peak reaches 1,241 metres in altitude. It houses the Marisa Consigliere mountain hut, open every Sunday throughout the year, at 1,100 metres above sea level. Mount Cornizzolo is well known amongst hang gliding and paragliding fans, due to a launch camp which is available almost all year.

An element of historical interest is the Abbey of San Pietro al Monte, an 11th-century building which is located in a little valley on the mountain. Cornizzolo has historically been a holy mountain, seat of Pre-Celtic, Celtic, Roman and Christian worships.
