Discover Corrido: Trails, Church Art and Viewpoints

Corrido combines impressive landscapes with trails, bridges, sacred art and local traces of times gone by. If you choose a holiday apartment in Corrido, you will find a place where different interests can be brought together in a varied trip: views and activity, architectural history and regional tradition.

Trails with views over Val Rezzo and Val Menaggio

An important trail leads uphill from Pineta Ponte di Basso in Corrido to the village of Buggiolo in the municipality of Val Rezzo. Numerous viewpoints lie along the way. From some locations, there may be views over Val Menaggio and the three lake basins that define Val Menaggio. Locally, this trail is also known as the Sentiero del Partigiano.

The Sentiero delle Quattro Valli connects several valleys: it crosses Val Sanagra, Val Cavargna, Val Rezzo and Valsolda. The trail branches off from the trail marked with trail marker 3, which connects the Lario trail network with Corrido. A circular route through Val Cavargna initially follows the SP10 and then the SP11 to the village of Corrido, after reaching the small village of Val Rezzo. This allows you to compare different trail routes and landscapes when planning your day.

Church Art and Architectural History

The parish church of Santi Martino e Materno (Santi Materno e Martino) stands on a viewing terrace at the entrance to Val Rezzo and offers views over Val Menaggio. At the same time, it is a late-sixteenth-century reconstruction of an existing church building. Inside, the church preserves paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries, contemporary frescoes and Baroque polychrome scagliola altar frontals from the workshop of the “magistri intelvesi”.

This creates a cultural focal point that clearly differs from the trails and viewpoints. Anyone who, when choosing a holiday apartment in Corrido, would like to consider not only the landscape but also historic interiors and artisan details can include these themes in their own travel planning.

Bridge, Gorge and Viewpoint

The Ponte del Saltone is located on the road connecting Corrido with Carlazzo. It was built over a deep gorge formed by the Torrente Cuccio. The Punto Panoramico Vesetto provides another vantage point. Because of its exceptionally beautiful views, it is regarded as a viewpoint worthy of protection.

Local Traces of Times Gone By

Regional history is also reflected in specific details. In the past, the local vines produced a light, delicate wine known locally as “el ciarèl”. The equipment in the former Mulino di San Pietro mill has been fully preserved. Together with the church and the Ponte del Saltone, these places give Corrido several different points of access: you can explore trails and landscapes or focus on architecture, craftsmanship and traditional local production.
