About Crocetta Menaggio

In July, Menaggio climbs to altitude for the festival at Monte Crocetta, the height overlooking the town on Lake Como. Between the small church of San Maurizio and the remains of the Cadorna Line, the event attracts residents and hikers to a panoramic spot overlooking the Central Lake, in a day of outdoor celebration included in the town's summer calendar.

The festival at Monte Crocetta

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.

Between history, panoramas, and tradition

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.

In Menaggio's summer calendar

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.
