A few days ago, I went on an easy hike (about 8 km in total) that starts from the Maccagno lakefront. After following the lake to the edge of town (towards Luino), it climbs up to the area known as 'Maccagno Imperiale' and loops back towards the town center, from where you can easily reach the lake again.
It was very beautiful, especially since there weren't many tourists yet. The only thing was a pretty strong wind (as you can hear in the attached video).
Iโm leaving a link here that explains what 'Maccagno Imperiale' means. Itโs in Italian โ I could only find this one โ but I think search engines will find info in other languages too, given that the place is very popular with Germans, Swiss, and other international visitors:
