The path of San Quirico is a circular itinerary that is part of the “Green Paths of the Lakes” and winds around the homonymous mountain.

The easy loop route starts in Uponne where you can leave your car and take the VVL-N1 path. Passing close to the Church of the Madonna del Rosario you can see the sign of the path that proceeds along a dirt road that gradually goes into the woods towards the San Martino Cascine towards San Quirico.

A slight climb leads directly to the historic church of San Quirico located on the top of the mountain. Going back on the path you can continue along the old road connecting the towns of Ranco and Angera.

There’s a small road on the path which takes to the famous and panoramic Rocca di Borromeo Angera.
