Hiking

Mergozzo has retained its medieval character. Once known for its location on the old trade route from Italy over the Simplon Pass (Sempione) into Valais, the town feels as if time has stood still, with its narrow, pedestrian streets, pretty churches, and modest houses. The small town's lakeside promenade is particularly beautiful and well-maintained, making for a pleasant stroll.

Hiking

The historic center of Mergozzo, a picturesque village overlooking the lake of the same name, preserves its medieval charm intact. The narrow cobbled streets, the stone houses with slate roofs and the welcoming squares create a quiet and suggestive atmosphere. The village is dominated by the parish church of San Giovanni Battista, with its simple but elegant facade, while the view of the lake and the surrounding mountains further enriches the charm of the place.
