Lake Ganna
A small lake with considerable value in terms of nature.
Lake Ganna is owned by the Province of Varese. Fishing is forbidden here, because the lake is a nature reserve. It is in fact situated in a beautiful forested area, at about 400 metres height, and the natural environment is particularly interesting for the presence of small animals and plants that developed during the ice age and that today are rare species, conserved by virtue of the valley's specific environmental conditions.
A highly recommended excursion in this area is a walk up to Mount Poncione di Ganna. The path starts from the village named Mondonico, and it provides beautiful views over Lake Ganna, the nearby Lake Ghirla, and the whole valley.
