The treasures to discover in the province of Varese

Nestled between the pre-Alpine hills and the shores of its enchanting lakes, the province of Varese is a hidden gem in northern Lombardy.

A region that stands out for its combination of natural beauty, historical heritage, and vibrant cultural life. With its landscapes, trails winding through lush forests, and picturesque villages, Varese is an excellent destination for those seeking tranquility without sacrificing urban comforts.

The province boasts four UNESCO sites, among which the Sacro Monte di Varese stands out. Whether reached by the historic funicular or on foot along the 17th-century avenue, this extraordinary complex of frescoed chapels invites visitors on a journey that, although uphill, rewards them with spectacular landscapes and views stretching to the Po Valley.

For those looking to climb even higher, the Campo dei Fiori Regional Park offers trails immersed in greenery that lead to breathtaking views and peaks of the Varese Pre-Alps. This protected natural area is an oasis of great beauty, renowned for its biodiversity and natural heritage.
