Piambello

Five peaks set in the valleys linking up Varese province with Switzerland, with their pristine forests, exceptional panoramic points and areas of unique historical interest. The Cadorna Line with its artillery posts and the UNESCO fossil-rich Monte San Giorgio site: these are musts for anyone wanting to see the beauties of this wonderful area. Lake Ceresio, or Lugano, one of the most attractive Alpine lakes, the backdrop to characteristic villages such as Porto Ceresio and Lavena Ponte Tresa. New cycle tracks, some of which were developed from historic train lines, run along the valleys, passing smaller lakes such as Ghirla and Ganna with their abbeys, mills, museums and unusual restaurants scattered across the area. Piambello, an area of great historical and natural interest.
