Ossuccio is located in one of the most beautiful parts of the Lake Como with a lovely view on Isola Comacina, Bellagio peninsula and the Grigne mountains.
Certainly worth a visit is the Sacro Monte di Ossuccio, located on a hillside slope between olive groves and woods, with its fourteen Baroque inspired chapels, built between 1635 and 1710, dedicated to the Mysteries of the Rosary. The monastery preserving over 200 statues made by the artists of the Scuola Intelvese was recently inserted by UNESCO in the World Heritage List.
The path with its 14 chapels leads to the Madonna del Soccorso sanctuary, which is mentioned in Pilgrims Progress. The legend talks about a deaf and dumb shepherdess that after finding the statue of the Virgin in a cave began to speak again. And for this reason a church was built here.
From here you can reach Alpe Boffalora and enjoy a lovely panorama that goes Val Perlana and reaches Alpe Lenno. Behind you can admire the beautiful Lake Lugano.
You can have lunch at the Rifugio where you'll taste local specialties and on the way back you can take an alternative route that goes down to S. Benedetto enjoying spectacular views.
