Varese, land of experiences

Minor lakes

Beside the best known lakes, like Lake Maggiore and Lake Varese, not many people know that the land of Varese hides other smaller lakes, immersed into valleys and surrounded by the woods. For those who love relaxing by the lake reading a good book or those who appreciate moutains and alpine lakes, here are the small lakes in the Varese province that you need to discover and visit.

Lago di Ghirla: surrounded only by nature, Lake Ghirla has glacial origins, and is situated in the northern area of Valganna. Perfect to refresh from the hot summer days or to take nice reflection pictures, Lake Ghirla is a must see of our territory. The coast is unspoilt, excluding the bathing establishment which offers kayak renting.
