サンジャーノの湖・トップ20

pleasant nature excursion with a view of the lake, always beautiful.

Enchanting place, pedaling in a row of trees like this...... 😍😍😍

Beautiful cycle paths with varied routes in safety with dirt sections better with MTB or Gravel

One of the most beautiful tree-lined avenues in the Varese area. It flows onto the SP69 (Angera-Ispra) and connects La Quassa and further on, the long lake of Ispra. I recommend gravel bikes.

The Gulf of Quassa, located between Ranco and Ispra on Lake Maggiore, is an area of considerable ecological and landscape importance. It is characterized by sandy seabeds unusual for the region, the result of the Quaternary glaciations which left erratic boulders and moraines. The area is poorly urbanized and has significant agricultural activities. In the past, the gulf was marshy, but reclamation efforts have preserved its semi-naturalness. In the 1970s, it was the site of the isolation of the last Varese nucleus of the European pond turtle. Ranco and Ispra are promoting the creation of a Local Park of Supra-municipal Interest to preserve the landscape, develop sustainable and ecotourism by involving the surrounding municipalities. The plan envisages the southward expansion of Monte San Quirico, the Rocca Borromea, and the Bruschera marsh, while to the north it would include the Golden Sands, the Laghetasc pond and the Bozza marsh. The main objective is to conserve the landscape heritage and promote ecological tourism in the region.

Characteristic place along the cycle path

The Gulf of Quassa is one of the jewels of Lake Maggiore located between Ranco and Ispra, thanks to its unique northern exposure. The park, founded in 2010, preserves a semi-natural environment rich in history and geology.
