カンネロ・リビエラのおすすめツーリングルート

The newer port of Intra is of particular importance for the entire Lake Maggiore. Ferries depart from the port to all other ports on Lake Maggiore. The port is particularly important because it is the only site on the western side of the lake that serves as a port of call for the only car ferry for miles around. This ferry departs every 20 minutes and shuttles back and forth between Intra and Lavenno in Lombardy on the eastern shore. This water traffic saves many drivers a significant detour. After all, the southern bypass via Sesto Calende and Besozzo would be the shorter option, at 120 kilometers.

A beautiful tour through the Val Cannobina to the Passo Pantani. There are several "rest sections" ranging from flat to downhill. It gets a bit steeper towards the end of the pass. A must-do is the continuation via Malesco through the Cento Valli with its many sights, Re and the Ponte Romano, and breathtaking views of the valley and the railway line. Via Ponte Brollo and Ascona, the route then leads back to the lakeside road to Cannobio. I've ridden this route many times in spring and fall, and there was always little traffic. I can't recommend the traffic-free route from Malesco to Domodossola.

The Port of Intra The ferry port, also located here, is one of the most important on the entire Lake Maggiore; ferries depart from here to all other ports on the lake. However, the Port of Intra owes its outstanding position to the fact that it is the port on the western shore of Lake Maggiore, the port of call for the only car ferry that crosses the lake. It runs every 20 minutes between Lavenno in Lombardy on the eastern shore and Intra, thus saving drivers traveling from one shore to the other enormous detours – the southern bypass via Sesto Calende and Besozzo is 120 kilometers long, while the northern bypass via Cannobio, Locarno, Quartino, Zenna, and Luino is even 130 kilometers long. Thanks to this very port, Intra is also an ideal starting point for boat trips to the Borromean Islands, Pallanza, or Villa Taranto.

Intra Ferry Terminal, "The Old Port" The old port captivates with its architectural charm. The older port is now considered more of a representative site. Shipping plays a rather minor role in the older port area. Much more important is its design, which testifies to its attention to detail. The fantastic column, made of Montorfano granite, is a feast for the eyes. Furthermore, the older port is recognizable by its old landing stage. The newer port of Intra is of particular importance for the entire Lake Maggiore. Ferries depart from the port to all other ports on Lake Maggiore. The port is particularly important, however, because it is the only site on the west side of the lake that serves as a port for the only car ferry for miles around. This ferry departs every 20 minutes and shuttles back and forth between Intra and Lavenno in Lombardy on the eastern shore. Thanks to this waterborne traffic, the ferry saves many drivers a significant detour. After all, the southern bypass via Sesto Calende and Besozzo, at 120 kilometers, would be the shortest option. The northern bypass, which includes towns such as Cannobio, Locarno, Zenna, and Luino, is another ten kilometers longer. This port of Intra greatly facilitates traffic on and around Lake Maggiore. Therefore, the port area regularly serves as a starting and ending point for boat trips to Villa Taranto, Pallanza, or the Borromean Islands.
