    Tips

    June 28, 2025

    A great hiking trail along the ridge of Pizzo di Laveno. It's heavily wooded, making it perfect for hot summer days. But it still offers fantastic views of Lake Maggiore and the other lakes.
    Important note: Although Komoot doesn't show any elevation change in the elevation profile, it's a constant up and down. It's often very steep and rocky. Add about 100-150 meters of elevation gain to your hike if you include this section (ours was an additional 150 meters at the end, according to GPS measurements).

      The climb to the cross is challenging, with many rocks and quite steep. Hiking boots are recommended, not sneakers. The view of Lake Maggiore is breathtaking, however, with clear views of Verbania and the Borromean Islands. This is the most panoramic point; the rest of the trail is through the trees, with a few more glimpses of the lake.
