From Laveno Mombello, one of the most evocative and picturesque tourist centers on the Lombard shore of Lake Maggiore, you climb gently with a comfortable two-seater cableway system up almost to the top of Mount Sasso del Ferro (alt.1100m) from where you can admire the solemn silence of nature, a grandiose and enchanting view of Lake Maggiore, the Alps, the Pre-Alps, the Lombard lakes and the Po Valley. It is the ideal destination for pleasant day trips and stays in the tranquility of the green woods.

The Rocca d'Angera proudly stands on a spur of rock that dominates the southern shores of Lago Maggiore. Located in a strategic position to monitor the trade routes, it was house of the Visconti family from Verbano. During 1449 the Borromeo family acquired it.

Inside the Rocca a delightful itinerary will make you discover the great historical halls, recently enriched with the addition of the Sala delle Maioliche, an extraordinary collection counting 300 pieces.

Overlooking the waters of Lake Maggiore and immersed in its centuries-old park, Villa Porta preserves an ancient tradition of hospitality, which began in the early 1800s when Leopoldo Casnedi converted his villa into an inn. Run by the Luz family since 1971, Villa Porta offers its guests unforgettable experiences in the picturesque setting of the Gulf of Colmegna, just a stone's throw from Luino, Varese and Lugano.
