On the top of the mountain, overlooking the inland Lake Como, there is a lighthouse!! which you can walk up to. It was built in honour of Alessandro Volta, famous for inventing the battery.

The Volta Lighthouse is a 29-meter high octagonal tower from which you can see views that range over the western part of the Alps, to the Monte Rosa, to the new skyscrapers in Milan.

If you like to walk, get to this phare from where you can enjoy the better view Como offer on the lake. Get to Brunate via the Funicolare (see).
