The Orrido di Sant'Anna is a deep gorge carved out by the Cannobino torrent, not far from Cannobio. With its sheer rock walls and crystal-clear waters, it is an ideal destination on hot summer days, when many visitors stop to swim or explore the scenic paths that run alongside it. Nearby is a small church dedicated to Sant'Anna, dating back to the 17th century.

These thermal baths are in Valle Onsernone at 986m, on the border between Switzerland and Italy and is crossed by the Isorno stream. It owes its name to a thermal water source at 28°C, it is not very popular and is definitely worth a visit.

In summer, the bathtubs can be filled, one with the 28° warm water from the spring, the other with cold river water.

Small sandy/stone beach for swimming.

Sant'Anna is a fraction of Cannobio, famous for its ravine. In addition to the gorges, there is also a beautiful medieval bridge, an important church and a small beach on the banks of the Cannobino river.

A lot of things are a bit overgrown, but it's still worth investing some time and studying the buildings and ruins.
