It is on the main road connecting Lake Lecco to Valsassina and joins Alpe Cainallo with Cortenova.

Colourful frescoes on house walls tell the story of Lasco the bandit, taken from a historical novel set in the 17th century that tells of the difficult life of inhabitants who were at the mercy of historical events and popular beliefs and oppressed by local landlords. The church of S. Antonio Abate. with paintings dating back to the 15th century, is also of interest.
