This exceptional route touches some of the most suggestive places of the so-called "Costa Fiorita" of Lake Maggiore. From the imposing Rocca di Angera you cross, through vineyards and hills, the hinterland passing by the Museo della Pipa di Brebbia and the height of Cardana, to proceed towards the Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso, the most famous sacred building on Lake Maggiore perched on the cliff at Leggiuno. The return is all on the coast through parks, small harbours and villages until you reach Ispra and the Gulf of Quassa.
