Mergozzo — Lakeside Village

Highlight • Settlement

Nice little village

Translated by Google •

Tip by

Mergozzo has retained its medieval character. Once known for its location on the old trade route from Italy over the Simplon Pass (Sempione) into Valais, the town feels as if time has stood still, with its narrow, pedestrian streets, pretty churches, and modest houses. The small town's lakeside promenade is particularly beautiful and well-maintained, making for a pleasant stroll.

Sentiero Azzurro

Highlight • Trail

The hiking trail runs along the north side of Mount Montorfano, which is just 794 meters high. What makes it so special, however, is that it is made of a single block of white granite, hence the many quarries that have been operating there for centuries. The columns of the Church of San Paolo Fuori le Mura in Rome were carved from this white granite from Montorfano.

Bench with panoramic view over Lake Mergozzo

Highlight • Viewpoint

Entering the Continental campsite you risk getting lost among the countless internal paths, the gates are all closed, you can only go out through the main entrance of the campsite.

Historic Fountain and Small Waterfall at Lake Mergozzo

Highlight • Natural Monument

Since it had rained a lot in the last few days, the waterfall was also a bit bigger

December 6, 2023,Mergozzo – Lago di Mergozzo Itinerario ad anello da Bieno

In the first part (from Fondotoce to Mergozzo) the road is poorly signposted and very varied (it goes from asphalted roads to "goat" paths).
After Mergozzo, however, the road becomes easier (flat and well-marked) and more beautiful (in the middle of a forest along Lake Mergozzo) which ends at the Verbania train station.
To avoid the long walk that runs …

Unfortunately, you can't get around the lake completely because a campsite and a golf course block the path in the south.

Beautiful circular route starting from Fondotoce, leave the car in via turati and cross the park, after a small bridge go right and flank the stream until you reach the beginning of the wooded path. The tour winds along the lakefront or on a covered path with lake view and then joins the blue path after Mergozzo. Highly recommended to …

June 9, 2023,Lago di Mergozzo Runde 😃👍 -

Today the first tour on the Lago, namely Lago di Mergozzo 👍. The first half, on the way to Mergozzo, is really adventurous and you should be sure-footed. But it's worth it, beautiful narrow paths and small streams again and again 😃. Mergozzo is small but beautiful, the short circular walk through the old town is worthwhile. The way back …

Be careful, after rain, all the paths turn into streams. You'll need hiking boots and poles to cross the countless streams and flooded paths. The stones are slippery, and the path is overgrown in many places. Finally, just before the parking lot, the path ends in front of a locked gate. It's better to walk along the road for the …
