La Crocetta (450 m) is a little cross located on top of a hill above Menaggio from where can enjoy a lovely view of Menaggio and the central lake area. The walk leads through the woods over an easy mule-track.

- starting point: Croce 393 m (2 km from Menaggio)
- Menaggio
- Croce by bus: line C12
- time: (one way) 0.40 hrs. - ascent: 100 m
- some signs indicating "La Crocetta"

Route:
 From the bus stop continue about 15 m on the main road then cross it and pick up the road in the direction of the golf course (there is a big sign). After about 300 m you turn left into "Via per la Crocetta" also called "Via Pigato". After some bends the road ends and you continue on a wide track. Before arriving at the Crocetta you see some trenches, reminders of the first World War and the little chapel dedicated to the "arm of the Alpini'".
