The Lido of Cannobio is the most famous commune on Lago Maggiore. It won the prestigious award of “Bandiera Blu” from the Foundation for Environmental Education.
Strong point of this beautiful beach is also the wind, which makes it a perfect place for sailing, and a paradise for kite and wind- surf lovers.
Just above Cannobio, from the characteristic small villages of Gurro and Finero, several trekking paths to Valley Cannobina start. Here you can also reach Val Grande National Park, the largest wilderness area of the Alps. This town can be reached via the highway 34, that from Gravellona Toce (VB) leads up to the State Border with the neighbouring Switzerland, or via hydrofoil and boats lines, that connect the village to the others lake municipalities.
