Walk by Moonlight

A pleasant evening on the summit of Lema organised in collaboration with the Le Pleiadi association.

After dinner, from around 9 pm, the astronomical observatory will be open for a guided tour.

Depending on the number of guests, we will split into two groups: one will visit the astronomicalobservatory and the other group will walk the Insubrico trail by moonlight, after which the groups will swap roles.

The Insubrico trail is particularly picturesque as it offers a magnificent view of two lakes, Lake Ceresio and Lake Maggiore. The moon will be our guide.

The astronomical observatory can be reached via a new and easy path (Bio-geological Trail) in just a few minutes to enjoy the view from the Alps to the Apennines.
