Onno - Crezzo - Onno
The route starts in Onno, at the Piazzale degli Alpini near the landing stage.
You walk towards the village centre and pass under the rockfall protection wall bridge.
At a small wayside chapel (known as “della Madonna” because of the fresco depicted there), you turn right and enter a valley.
After 200 metres, a sign indicates “Darniga”; you turn right again: the path becomes narrower and starts to climb.
You reach the area above the village of Onno, in the locality of Darniga.
There is no water and no shelters here, only the view of the Grigne, the Resegone and Lake Como, from Onno to Bellagio to Lecco.
At the end of path no. 1 you reach the point where, in October 1987, the ATR-42 plane crash occurred.
From there you continue along the asphalt road, to the left, and after 500 metres you arrive at the Conca di Crezzo.
Here there are some farmhouses and the signposts indicate path no. 3.
From this point, the descent begins along an easy path.
You pass “Ca de Manen”, where you can stop for refreshments at the farm of the same name, then Prazzapino, the locality of Munt, and reach the “Vultada del Per”.
You then continue towards the Casel del Bigiu, the Dacia del Garai, and afterwards you reach the locality of S. Giorgio, where there is a care home for the elderly.
