Cannobio

Cannobio, the last town along the shores of Lake Maggiore before the Swiss border, is today one of the most important and popular tourist destinations in the Verbano-Cusio-Ossola area.

Thanks to its geographical position, Cannobio was already an important strategic and commercial centre in the past.

Cannobio is renowned for its lakeside promenade, considered one of the most beautiful walks along Lake Maggiore, and for its Lido, a large, well-equipped beach that attracts many visitors looking not only for a holiday of sunshine and relaxation, but also for sporting activities such as sailing and diving.

A visit to the weekly market, held every Sunday, is a must.

Behind Cannobio lies the Cannobina Valley, an ideal destination for lovers of hiking and the unspoilt nature of Val Grande National Park, of which the valley is part.

Don’t miss the spectacular natural beauty of the Orrido di Sant’Anna, a dramatic gorge formed by the erosive action of the waters of the Cannobino stream.
