The hike is certainly not a highlight. The first half is quite nice, the second half is quite dangerous, along the road.

Trail to Santa Anna

Highlight • Trail

Excellent trail, clean and well-maintained from start to finish. It should be considered a cycle/pedestrian path.

From Cannobio a path leads along the river to the pebble beach below Sant Anna. A very enchanting place that invites you to linger and swim.
The water is cold but wonderfully clear.

The Orrido di Sant'Anna is a deep gorge carved out by the Cannobino torrent, not far from Cannobio. With its sheer rock walls and crystal-clear waters, it is an ideal destination on hot summer days, when many visitors stop to swim or explore the scenic paths that run alongside it. Nearby is a small church dedicated to Sant'Anna, dating back to the 17th century.

Cannobio Waterfront Promenade

Highlight • Settlement

Cannobio is a municipality in the Italian province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola in the Piedmont region. The municipality is located on the western shore of Lake Maggiore and is the first major town after the border with Switzerland in Piaggio Valmara. Cannobio is located on the alluvial fan of the river Cannobino, in the hinterland extends the Valle Cannobina. The city name goes back to the Roman Canobinum (border area). "Cross Country"; not only geographically - between Piedmont, Lombardy and Ticino, but also historically their influences have shaped the development of the community.

June 17, 2025,Cannobio - Orrido di Sant'Anna: giro ad anello con partenza da Sant'Agata
Pleasant and comfortable circular walk that, starting from Cannobio Sant'Agata (along the lake coming from the south, just beyond the Cannobino river), takes us first to the San Anna ravine and then to the beautiful lakeside of Cannobio. If you want, you could plan lunch at the Grotto San Anna Restaurant (San Anna ravine), enjoy an aperitif on the lakeside …

Well, I imagine something different under waterfall 🤔

A short trip to Lake Maggiore, to the first, absolutely idyllic town after the Swiss border. A short hike to the Church of St. Anna along the idyllic Cannobino River, past numerous swimming bays and an impressive gorge. Afterwards, a trip with the grandchildren to the Lido amusement park right on the lake. Beautiful scenery!

On the recommendation of various people... Thanks also @Katja 😍... we drove to the Cannobia Valley today.
For this, we took the car ferry from Laveno to Intra.
At the same time, we left Lombardy and entered and hiked through Piedmont.
There is a hiking trail along the river up to the Sant'Anna church. You can take a wonderful walk …

The Grotto of St. Anna is really beautiful. The water is... cold, but crystal clear. In the grotto it turns black as ink. On the way there, there is a nice place with a bike rack and a really big grill with benches. Next time I'll have to take my bike with me.

Not far from Cannobio there is a real natural spectacle to admire. Smooth, steep walls and crystal clear water⛵. The mountain river Cannobino 🏞️ has spent thousands of years washing a 25 m deep trench into the rock🪨⛰️🗻.
The gorge can be crossed on two bridges. A narrower one, called dell agostana, and a wider one, over which the road …

Nice, very touristy place. There are restaurants one after the other on the promenade. The walk along the Cannobino is worth it, the view of Sant Anna is magical.

EL CALISOT: Small bar right next to the church of Sant' Agata with a beautiful view of Cannobio and Lake Maggiore. Ideal as a rest stop for mountain hikers with tasty snacks to eat and drink. Very friendly service! Open from sometime in March until around mid-October.
