Trail to Molineggi

Highlight • Trail

A nice, easy-to-walk path towards Molineggi. There are constant views of the lake. After the town, it's more of a path, and then it gets steeper and more impassable.

Nice tour, we took the bus back. In the forest, I almost stepped on a snake, I was told they are non-venomous. It can be seen in one of the last pictures.

A very relaxing short break on Lake Maggiore. The first five photos are from the journey there, with a short stop in the beautiful Verzasca Valley.
Our hike took us along beautiful trails from Cannobio with views of the lake to Cannero, then by boat to Luino and from there back to Cannobio.

Definitely a pleasant route. A couple of notes: excursion with little exposure to the sun (not ideal in late autumn) and with few panoramic points; not a circular route and which ends... in nowhere (I didn't even realize I had reached the end). Tip: continue for a few minutes to the end of the path. You will then arrive at …
