Access: To reach the cliff you have to get to the hermitage of "Santa Caterina del Sasso Ballaro". To reach the place, take the A8, exit at Vergiate-Sesto Calende, continue towards the town of Laveno, passing the various villages that you meet (from Angerafino to Leggiuno). Always following the signs for the hermitage, take the last crossroads which leads to a small dirt road. Continuing for about half a kilometer, you park your car at the first beach and continue on foot, returning a little back on your steps.
Go along a gray gate for 100 meters and take a small path on the right (it is not the dirt road). From here you go up a small and steep path in the woods and, skirting a metal fence, you reach a lake view point where you can see a small sign. Descend then continue for 50 meters to the left.
Just before an open space, turn sharply to the right, you will find another small sign and go down a steep path following black pipes.
Attention after a piece of steep path downhill, protected with ropes, you reach the black pipes and reached their concrete base, continuing to the left along the path you reach the various sectors.
Continuing straight instead you reach the sector Saigon
In total from the car are about 15 minutes.
