Trails with views of two lakes

The Via per Pella runs through Casale Corte Cerro and Montebuglio. It offers views of Lake Orta, San Giulio Island, Orta and the entire eastern shore of the lake.

The regional pilgrimage route from Lake Orta to Lake Maggiore also passes through the districts of Casale Corte Cerro. It reaches the main town before continuing via Crebbia and Ricciano. This gives your daily planning a clear focus on the area between the two lakes and the different districts.

Cyclists can find another perspective on the Gravellona Toce–Le Quarne route. The route heads towards Casale Corte Cerro and opens up views of Val Corcera, which connects Lake Orta with Lake Maggiore. Depending on the kind of day you have in mind, you can therefore focus on cycling, the pilgrimage route or lake views.
