1100M Ascent and descent

I had a few days to kill before a flight out of Milan. I took a quick train to Como, a small lakeside town in the north of Italy. I spent all day walking around town by the lakeside, in the evening I made my way up the mountain side, the trail passed through the small village of Brunate, before continuing on to the summit. The views on the summit were quite spectacular, overlooking the lake and the beautiful hills surrounding me. I camped out on the summit and then went back down the following morning. I then made my way to the train station to head back into Milan.

Panoramic view from the summit, Como lake to the left, and the border with Switzerland on 
the hills directly behind the left side of the lake

A slightly larger peak to the East,
light up by a ray of sun

Not a bad spot to set up camp
