    A beautiful grove of large beech trees on Alpe di Neggia is considered an energy centre.

    The energy is good near the metal cross on Monte Gambarogno, but it is stronger a few minutes away on the mountain top. There is an energetic vortex on the small plateau adjacent to the highest point of the mountain, which emanates energy around its vicinity. The view of the lake and woods is extraordinary from there.

    The walk from Monte Gambarogno to Alpe Cedullo is a challenge. There is a beautiful energy-infused rock on the mountain’s grassland. It is bigger than all the others and includes a natural basin for offerings at its feet (front right) an altar made of rock with a flat surface.

    The clearing close to Sant’Anna church is a significant topographical junction with many paths coming together and then leading off in different directions. In a similar vein, the inside of the clearing around the church is a good place to take decisions when life offers you a number of opportunities, a place to reflect before making the best choice. The church door is almost always closed but you can still see inside it.

    Author’s recommendation

    Questa camminata mediamente impegnativa dura in tutto fra le 3 e le 4 ore. Si raccomanda però di calcolare più tempo, per sostare nei luoghi energetici e per godersi il panorama. Si consiglia una buona cartina escursionistica.
