Pineta bassa
A peaceful natural setting with fine viewpoints and many opportunities for leisure activities and relaxation.
The "pineta bassa" - low pine forest - is near Montegrino, and its facilities were initiated by Cavaliere Luigi Pontevia, Mayor of the town in the early 20th century. From the metalled road leading to Luino, a track runs into this interesting natural environment, with pine forests cloaking a hill dominating Valtravaglia and Luino.
All those who like hiking will enjoy this gigantic natural viewpoint looking over the northern reaches of the Verbano area, with a landscape featuring Lake Maggiore and the majestic profile of Monte Rosa, which looms up behind the surrounding hills and the great lake valley.
The low pine forest offers many opportunities for leisure and relaxation for all ages. The facilities include catering establishments, play areas for children, and tennis courts.
