If you want relax, if you have desire of knowledge or test your body, our area offers a variety of things to do or to see able to satisfy all guests’ requirements.
Relax
What’s better than a beautiful day lying down on one of the various public beaches of the lake? In Cerro as in Caldè the only doubt is when to dive to enjoy the cool water.
Instead, if you prefer strolling, you can choose between several paths across the nature or the stands of the local street markets.
Laveno offers the opportunity to reach the top of the mount “Sasso del Ferro” and its wonderful panorama through a comfortable cable car.
