[title] => Carmine Superiore and Cannobio
[content] => Distance: 5.5 miles (9 km)
Ascent: 1,200 feet (360 m)
Leaving Cannero Riviera, we follow an old mule track with views towards the Castles of Cannero, which rise from the lake. We climb through camellias, holly and chestnut trees to Carmine Superiore, a stone-built village with a Romanesque church and historic frescoes. We then descend to Cannobio, where medieval streets, waterfront arcades and cafés await

[title] => Viggiona and Cannobio
[content] => Distance: 7.5 miles (12 km)
Ascent: 1,770 feet (540 m)
Our longer walk climbs from Cannero Riviera through chestnut woodland and past elegant villas to Viggiona. After time to explore its colourful houses and narrow lanes, we descend along an old mule track through Molineggi, once home to rye-grinding mills, and past traditional shepherds’ huts. We finish beside the lake in Cannobio.
