Do you think you know all there is to know about Brianza? Get ready to see it from another viewpoint, or  rather from five different viewing points.

 

Often, in our daily lives and from down in our streets, we can’t see just how much beauty is all around us. Perhaps that's why we are so fond of viewing points, those raised areas where it is possible to look differently at the world, and where everything seems to take on a whole new meaning. This is an itinerary with five different points from which to enjoy the natural scenery of Brianza, where you will see familiar settings, roads you have crossed, and peaks you have maybe just seen in your schoolbooks. Whether after a trip into the mountains or while out on a stroll along the lake, from up there in these panoramic viewing points between Milan, Monza, Como and Lecco, you will see this part of Lombardy from unique vantage points. Keep your eyes wide open, and off we go!
 

Sanctuary of Beata Vergine del Monte Carmelo
Just a few kilometres from Monza and just 30 km from Milan is Montevecchia, a village with just over 2,000 inhabitants in the province of Lecco. This is the first hilly section you come to when you leave the hinterland, surrounded by the flourishing fields and mountain chains of the Comasche Prealps.

Monte Puscio or Croce di Maiano
We are in the Triangolo Lariano, between Palanzone and Monte Bolettone. This panoramic point is the perfect choice for trekking lovers, even for the less expert among you. The ascent to the Croce di Maiano is not hard; in fact, it follows a trail that is also suited to novices or those accompanied by young children.

Piani Resinelli Viewing Point
Start out from the city and arrive at 1,400 metres? You can do this by heading up to Piani Resinelli from Milan or Lecco. This large plateau covering the municipalities of Lecco, Abbadia Lariana, Mandello del Lario and Ballabio awaits you in Valsassina, at the foot of Grignetta.

Parco del Roccolo a Cesana Brianza
A municipal park of 1,810 hectares - so big it covers six different municipalities. This park has a very important area and environmental role in that it acts as a green lung for the Upper Milanese area, as well as linking the River Ticino to the River Olona.

Lake Annone
Annone di Brianza; have you heard the name before? In the 1960s, it hosted important figures in national and international music, from the iconic duo of Mogol-Battisti to Dik Dik, and who knows, perhaps they were a little inspired by Lake Annone.
