Start from the heart of a small Renaissance hamlet with traditional cobbled streets and historic stone houses. Follow the quiet cycle path that was originally the old railway line connecting Lake Como to Lake Lugano. Pass the charming Lake Piano nature reserve; hidden Romanesque churches and tiny villages before arriving directly on the beach of Lake Lugano with expansive views across the water. Explore the old centre of Porlezza-the perfect spot for an ice-cream or aperitivo before starting the climb into the mountains.

Navigate in silence on the calm waters of Lake Maggiore, surrounded only by the water and the colors of the sky. Paddling and exploring together inlets and unique stretches of coast that surround our destination: the hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso. It is a hermitage dating back to the twelfth century rather impressive both for the surrounding landscape and for the construction that seems almost wedged in the rock of the mountain. Canadian canoeing is a sport within everyone's reach; thanks to its open shape, the wide hull and the slightly raised bow and stern it is one of the best solutions for getting around on the water.
