Holiday apartment in Valganna: discover lakes, culture and trails
Accommodation in Valganna
Valganna combines natural and cultural experiences that can shape a variety of holiday days. Boarezzo is an artistically designed village in Valganna, with painted and frescoed panels on the walls of its houses. The nature-themed paintings added later in Boarezzo form the educational trail “C’era una volta il bosco”. These two distinctive features alone give a holiday apartment in Valganna a clear cultural and scenic setting at the same time.

Holiday apartment in Valganna between culture and nature
An important cultural site is the Badia di San Gemolo in Ganna. It dates back to the 10th century, and its complex includes a Romanesque bell tower. A small museum in the pentagonal cloister of the Badia di San Gemolo houses sacred archaeological finds and works by local painters. When planning your holiday, you can combine a visit to this site with a trip to Boarezzo, without limiting culture to a single era or form of expression.
Lakes, wetlands and regional mountains
The Riserva Naturale Lago di Ganna nature reserve includes Lago di Ganna, the Torbiera del Pralugano peat bog, as well as meadows and wet woodlands around the two wetlands. A cycle and footpath runs along the shore of Lago di Ghirla. In the wider regional surroundings of Valganna, Monte Generoso is a mountain. Poncione di Breno is a peak there, and Monte Brè is also a mountain in the wider regional surroundings of Valganna. When choosing accommodation, you can therefore focus on different features, including bodies of water, wetlands and mountain destinations.
Hiking trails, the Via Francisca and climbing
Hiking trails are available in Valganna within Parco Nazionale del Campo dei Fiori. There are opportunities for climbing along the Linea Cadorna in Valganna. The Valganna route between the Maglio di Ghirla and the Badia di San Gemolo is a hiking route. The Valganna route also follows a section of the Via Francisca, which passes through Valganna and connects several sights. Those choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home in Valganna can use these different routes as a guide for active or varied days.
