The Natural Reserve of Sasso Malascarpa is close to the Corni di Canzo group close to Lecco (Lombardy, N. Italy)). The reserve is easily accessible from Lecco and Canzo and it is a wanderful terrace on all Lombardian Prealps and Brianza. However, from a geological point of view, the late Triassic rocks are here rich in Corals and large mollusc (Conchodon).
Tectonic is also well visible with nice folds: surface karst features represent another peculiarity of the limestone beds or blocks outcropping in several points. A visitor Center is available at Primo Alpe (from Canzo) and during the summer or the week-ends a few huts are open for food support: small springs are also present. Geological and botanical plates are scattered in the area, the highest path being completed during 2008.
