As we enter the city from the Varese-Casbeno train station, we take in the beautiful sights of the Estensi Gardens and the Bernascone bell tower. Continuing past Villa Panza and Villa Ponti, takes us to Colle di Biumo Superiore and Villa Toeplitz. From here, a dirt road continues to Mount Martica, passing by Stagno della Tagliata. A downhill trail then leads to Villaggio Cagnola and the Olona springs. Via Francigena then takes us to the first chapel of the Via Crucis, and continues to the Sacro Monte (UNESCO site). Finally, steep trails lead us back to our starting point, passing by the Velate Tower (FAI site), the Rampegana di Casciago tower, and the Fountain of the Valéta in Masnago.
