The hike took approximately 1,5 hours from Hotel Imperiale we didn't find it as tough as some other reviews suggests, but do bring plenty of water! Unfortunately we came here on a day with bad weather and had to sit inside but the staff was friendly, the place is cheap and the food was nice. What else can you ask for?

We also passed an abandoned town. The view of the lake was fantastic and some parts of the walk were steep and also in the shade. The mountain hut is typical of the lake area and had an al fresco area for summer dining and internal fireplace for winter dining. Food is characteristic of the mountain.

We had an excellent meal that left us completely stuffed (and pretty drunk on decent house wine). The fromaggio mista was the best on the planet 12 cheeses, all very interesting. Lovely views over the lake as well. Really good value, particularily if you stay over and go half board.

Pretty view but not worth the mountain top food poisoning

We had the antipasto plate which was delicious, 3 types of cheese and 4 types of meat. The risotto dish and the pork with polenta and gravy was out of this world. Most authentic mom and pop little Italian restaurants in the mountains you could find. The hike is very difficult but the reward was well worth it.
