ヴィッツォーラティチノのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Panoramic point

Historic building with the possibility of guided tours

beginning of the Villoresi canal.. panoramic

Here you go along the Villoresi canal which originates from the Panperduto dam located a little further north.

Inaugurated in 1737 as a customs house between the Duchy of Milan and the Kingdom of Sardinia (which expanded to the banks of the Ticino), the building remained as such until 1859. It was then transformed into a labor farm and was abandoned until the 1970s. In 1997 it was purchased by the Ticino Park and completely renovated.

Here, thanks to the Panperduto dam, part of the Ticino is diverted and the Industrial Canal and the Villoresi Canal (which has the purpose of irrigating the surrounding fields) are created.

From here on the clearest days you can see the snow-capped mountains in the distance, behind the calm waters of the Ticino.

Here the Ticino forms a curve and you can walk in peace immersed in a broad-leaved forest that runs along the river. The area is populated by aquatic birds.
