Porto Ceresio Waterfront Promenade

Highlight • Viewpoint

Porto Ceresio belongs to the province of Varese on Lake Lugano, and was made famous as an internationally renowned center of craftsmanship and art. Very inhabited and busy city, but worth a passing visit.

Lake Lugano

Highlight • Lake

Lake Lugano, also known as Ceresio, is acclaimed as one of the most beautiful of the pre-Alpine lakes.
Its waters mainly extend into Swiss territory, in the Canton of Ticino, but the north-east and south-west ends bathe the territories of the provinces of Como and Varese respectively.

Cycling along the lakefront, you will be able to enjoy the beauty of the scenery of which it is the protagonist: the calm waters are set between the verdant Alpine reliefs.
