About this hike

The first 700 m of this route are not particularly interesting, but then you'll reach the lake for a pleasant stroll to Locarno. You'll have continuous views of Lake Maggiore (Lago Maggiore) and the surrounding mountains. You will pass various wonderful villas.

The route ends at the pretty lakefront in Locarno. If you're interested to explore more here, then consider to continue with this city walk.
