Hiking
Hiking around Cannobio & Cannero
Walking and hiking trails start right at the holiday apartment Casa Stefanie – in the middle of nature on the western shore of Lake Maggiore.
Right on your doorstep
On old mule tracks
The slopes above the western shore are criss-crossed by a dense network of old mule tracks, stepped paths and forest trails. Many of them have linked the small hamlets between Cannobio and Cannero Riviera for centuries. From Casa Stefanie you set off directly on foot – no car needed.
Along the way you pass chestnut woods, dry-stone walls of former vineyard terraces and, time and again, viewpoints overlooking Lake Maggiore all the way to the mountains of Lombardy.
Carmine Superiore
A short climb (about 15 minutes from Carmine Inferiore) to the medieval, car-free village with the 14th-century church of San Gottardo and sweeping lake views.
High trails on the western shore
Along old connecting paths between Cannobio and Cannero Riviera – with ever-changing views of the lake, ideal in spring and autumn.
Valle Cannobina
A green side valley behind Cannobio with mountain villages, waterfalls and historic mule tracks such as the Strada Borromea.
Monte Carza circular walk
The panoramic peak (1116 m) above Cannero Riviera is a rewarding goal – as a day hike straight from the apartment or as a shorter loop from the mountain village of Viggiona. Forest trails and old paths lead to the summit with wide views over Lake Maggiore. The descent is steep in places: good shoes and sure footing are important.
