A party at altitude above Menaggio, between the Cadorna Line and Lake Como
Above Menaggio, the pearl of the western shore of Lake Como in the province of Como, rises Monte Crocetta, a panoramic height reachable by paths leading up from the town. Here, in July, an outdoor festival takes place, combining the devotional aspect linked to the small church of San Maurizio with the hiking dimension, in a place also marked by the historical traces of the Cadorna Line, the fortified system from the First World War.
The climb to Crocetta has always been a classic for those who want to enjoy the view of the Central Lake, with Bellagio and the branches of the Lario opening up at the foot of the mountains. The festival, scheduled for mid-morning, becomes an opportunity to gather at altitude, amidst nature and historical memory, in one of the most evocative settings in the Menaggio area.
The event is part of the rich program of events that the Municipality of Menaggio and the Province of Como offer during the summer, including concerts, markets along the lakefront, and festivals in the various districts and hamlets of the territory.
The 2026 edition is scheduled for Sunday, July 12, starting at 11:00 AM at Monte Crocetta, above Menaggio. The festival takes place in the panoramic area of Crocetta, between the small church of San Maurizio and the remains of the Cadorna Line. Any additional program details will be published on the event calendar of the Municipality of Menaggio.
According to the official event calendar of Menaggio, the appointment is set for Sunday, July 12, 2026, with a meeting at 11:00 AM at Monte Crocetta (Cadorna Line area, San Maurizio church). The detailed program will be communicated by the organizers closer to the event.
