This moderate hike, "From Maccagno to Agra (via Sentiero 155)", offers a journey through varied landscapes above Lake Maggiore. You will cover 5.2 miles (8.3 km) with a steady climb of 1614 feet (492 metres), taking about 3 hours and 31 minutes to complete. The route transitions from old cobblestone paths to packed earth trails, winding through areas where you might spot giant pumpkins. Look out for the stunning views of Lake Maggiore from the Belvederes of Zucoli and Mandelli as you ascend.
To begin your adventure, head to the sports ground parking area in Maccagno, which serves as the trailhead. The path is well-marked with red and white Sentiero 155 signs, guiding you through the town's historic streets. This trail is generally accessible, but checking local conditions before you go is always a good idea. Consider starting in the morning to enjoy the cooler temperatures and ample daylight, especially during warmer months.
This trail provides a unique glimpse into the traditional charm of Lombardy, connecting the lakeside town of Maccagno with the peaceful mountain village of Agra. You will pass by the Santuario della Madonna della Lupera, a notable local landmark, before reaching Agra. Your arrival in Agra is marked by the distinctive yellow bell tower of Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista, inviting you to explore its quiet main square and narrow stone streets.
