Trip to Verbania, Lake Maggiore, the garden on the lake

Verbania, Market Square

One of the beautiful coastal resorts of Lake Maggiore that brings together all the natural and artistic beauties of the territory is Verbania , born from the union of two municipalities — Pallanza and Intra. In a privileged position, Verbania is located on the right bank of Lake Maggiore and enjoys a particularly temperate climate, boasts a tourism of character international, coming from central Europe, is particularly frequented by Germans and Germans who prefer holidays in prestigious apartments and villas.

From Verbania you can start to discover the treasures of Lake Maggiore such as the three Borromean islands or go to the Val Grande National Park, Monte Rosa and the Ossola Valleys. The city full of greenery and flowers, rhododendrons, azaleas, tulips, camellias are the setting for numerous, elegant residences.

Of the two nuclei that make up Verbania, Pallanza is richer in monuments and points of interest.
The historic center, mainly medieval, is characterized by narrow alleys, dwellings of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century as well as elegant eighteenth-century dwellings. To visit in Pallanza: Church of San Remigio, an ancient Romanesque church of the '100, built of stone blocks, inside preserves frescoes; Palazzo Dugnani, 18th-century palace houses the Historical and Artistic Museum of Verbano and Landscape with a collection of paintings and frescoes from the '500 to the '900.

In Pallanza there is the famous Villa Taranto with wonderful gardens where you can admire about a thousand plants and twenty thousand botanical species. It's a real show to see them in the flowering period: the colors and scents of flowers enchant. It is known that the Gardens of Villa Taranto are among the most beautiful in Europe and boast about seven kilometers of avenues. Scottish captain Neil Mc. Eacharn, who had fallen in love with Italy after his first visit, was an important figure in the history of the Verbano gardens. In 1928 the captain purchased a property called La Crocetta with the aim of creating a botanical garden, being he a fan of this discipline and having found in Italy all the favorable conditions for doing so. This property was renamed with the name of Villa Taranto and became one of the most important botanical complexes in the world. The villa cannot be visited and is currently home to the Prefecture of the province of Varbano-Cusio-Ossola. In the gardens, there are different flower species from various parts of the world and can be visited only for a fee. The garden can also be reached by lake. It hosts several events that take place throughout the year, beautiful is the Permanent Exhibition of the Dahlia that takes place inside the Dahlias maze from July to October where more than 1500 plants can be admired.

Excursion to the Zamboni - Zappa hut from Pecetto di Macugnaga

Visible even hundreds of kilometers away, the eastern slope of Monte Rosa can be said to be the only Himalayan wall in Europe: an immense, dizzying bastion of rock and ice that rises for more than two kilometers at the head of Valle Anzasca.

It is therefore no coincidence that the proposed trip is always very busy, also thanks to the chairlift that significantly reduces the time to climb. In practice it is possible to reach, without difficulty, right under the wall, in a unique scenario not only in Italy, but in the entire continent.
From Macugnaga (60 km from Verbania) continue by car to the hamlet Pecetto, at 1358 meters above sea level. We then walk along an unmistakable dirt road (heading west) that goes into the woods, reaching the plateau of Alpe Burki (about 1600 meters).
The climb continues along a comfortable path in the Rado Forest, up to the basin where the building of the CAI Saronno Hut is located. A last short climb then leads to the Belvedere plateau, located on the morainic bump that divides the language of the homonymous glacier in two: altitude of 1940 meters, 1.30 hours from Pecetto.
Note: the Belvedere, on which there is a private refuge restaurant, is also reached by a chairlift that starts in Pecetto, of course can be used during periods of operation.
Continuing the excursion, from the Belvedere you reach, always on a comfortable path, the southern branch of the glacier, which you cross without difficulty on morainic debris.
Once reached the opposite moraine, the path heads south, reaching the now nearby Rifugio Zamboni—Zappa at the Alpe Pedriola: 2065 meters altitude, 0.45 hours from the Belvedere, in total 2.15 hours from Pecetto.
The return takes place along the same path as the climb, and takes 30 minutes to the Belvedere, and about 1.30 hours total up to Pecetto (not using the chairlift).
Variation: from the hut we recommend completing the trip reaching the not far Lake of Locce (altitude 2209 meters), and the wonderful & amp; nbsp; Ephemeral Lake, both reachable in about 30 minutes on a convenient walk south, along trail tracks.

Travel time: 3.45 hours - (1.15 using the chairlift).
Starting altitude: m. 1358
Difference in altitude: about 750
Difficulty: E — Hiking
Recommended period: June - October
Region: Piedmont
Province: Verbania
Valle/area: Valle Anzasca Are you interested in other excursions in neighboring areas? Discover the other wonderful excursions in the Piedmont region!
