What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the absolutely amazing and breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Orta, stretching from Omegna to the Buccione Tower. The short hike from Egro village is generally well-received, though the path's roughness is noted. Some find the presence of a 'Roman torture device' (likely a historical marker or sculpture) detracts from the natural beauty.
