Luino and surroundings

A picturesque city in the Northwestern part of the Province, at the border with Switzerland and on the shores of Lake Maggiore.

The city of Luino, overlooking the oriental shore of Lake Maggiore or Verbano (now named “Costa Fiorita”), is mainly known for hosting, every Wednesday, a famous International Market. Relevant touristic and economic centre of northern Varese Province, the city is bordered on the East by Switzerland.

Luino boasts a wonderful lakeside running almost two kilometers from Germignaga’s beach to Serenelle. Every Wednesday, one of the most ancient and renowned markets on the lake is held, and the lovely old town opens up its numerous Liberty buildings, such as Palazzo Verbania and Villa Hussy -currently home of the civic library, and the Church of Madonna del Carmine.

Leaving Luino, a road reaches the characteristic painted village of Runo and Val Dumentina, down to the ancient mills of Piero and Monteviasco, a rural village only reachable on foot or by cable car. In the North of Luino we may visit Maccagno, with its nice lakeside and the Parisi-Valle Museum, built as a bridge on stream Giona.

Another deflection takes us through Val Veddasca, with its picturesque villages, to lake Delio and over to Alp Forcora, from which we can enjoy a splendid view of Lake Maggiore and surrounding mountains. Luino’s whole territory is a great area for pleasant excursions.
