Starting from Cocquio Trevisago, the trail passes through the villages of Caldana and Cerro, among ancient hamlets, historic churches, and splendid views of Monte Rosa and the Alps.
Leaving the villages behind, the route enters the woodlands and climbs the slopes of Monte Prà Camarée, immersing hikers in an increasingly peaceful and evocative landscape.


The final ascent leads to Fort Orino (1,139 m / 3,737 ft), a historic fortification of the Cadorna Line and an extraordinary natural balcony overlooking Lake Maggiore, the lakes of the Varese area, and the Alpine arc. A destination that combines the fascination of history with the beauty of one of the region’s most spectacular panoramas.
