    This bridge connecting the Varallo Pombia area and Lungo Ticino is excellent for taking turns passing between the two areas separated by the river and avoiding the busier Sesto Calende bridge.

    The Porto della Torre Dam is an artificial river dam with an annexed hydroelectric power plant, located on the Ticino river between the municipalities of Somma Lombardo (Varese) and Varallo Pombia (Novara). Commissioned in 1955 by the former Società Vizzola, the structure is now managed by ENEL.
    It represents the second dam encountered when descending from Lake Maggiore, positioned downstream from the Miorina dam and just above the historic Panperduto dam.
