Ticino Riverside Walk in Sesto Calende

Highlight (Segment) • River

Pleasant riverside of Sesto Calende. Sesto Calende was a strategic point for trade, as can also be deduced from the beautiful buildings that can be seen on the banks and in the historic center.

Ipposidra Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

One of the bridges of the Ipposidra, an animal-drawn railway built for the land transport of boats used on the Naviglio Grande between Tornavento and Sesto Calende along the Ticino, which operated from 1858 to 1865.

Panperduto Dam — Start of the Villoresi Canal

Highlight • Monument

The Villoresi canal: It originates here from the Panperduto dam in the Maddalena area (Somma Lombardo), a hamlet of Somma Lombardo, and flows into the Adda river or, alternatively, into the Martesana canal near Cassano d'Adda at the end of a long route 86 km which qualifies it as the second longest artificial waterway in Italy, after the Emiliano Romagnolo canal and in front of the Cavour canal.
The canal, which runs horizontally from west to east, in the upper plain of Milan, was completed in 1890.

The Industrial Canal: also known as the Vizzola canal, is an artificial watercourse that derives its waters from the Ticino river, through the Panperduto dam near Somma Lombardo, where the waters of the Villoresi canal are also derived[1]. The canal was inaugurated in 1900, with the name of "Vittorio Emanuele III industrial canal", its construction was due to the production of hydroelectric energy. In fact, the industrial canal drives the turbines of three hydroelectric power plants: the Vizzola power plant, the Tornavento power plant and the Castelli di Turbigo power plant. Just beyond this facility the canal branches into 3 channels: on the left most of the water (64 m³/s in summer, 35 m³/s in winter) flows into the Naviglio Grande, which receives its effective flow here; [2] in the centre, however, the Turbighetto discharger originates, having a flow rate of approximately 50 m³/s. This flows into the Ticino, after having activated the turbines of a fourth hydroelectric power plant: the Turbigo Inferiore power plant. The regression channel originates on the right. This third branch flows into the Ticino in the Casa delle Barche area. Through a gravel dam on the Ticino its waters are conveyed into the Langosco canal, activating the Varzi hydroelectric power plant.

View of Sesto Calende, the Ticino River, and Monte Rosa

Highlight • Viewpoint

the cycle path on Lake Comabbio is very beautiful, at the beginning of the tour from Somma Lombardo you are in the middle of the mega traffic of the SS33, otherwise it is quite quiet and acceptable.
