Clocking in at 60 kilometers from Milan, Lake Varese is an hour’s long day-trip, where a plethora of outdoor activities await. This includes cycling, sailing, and nature walks. An important part of history stands here: Isolino Virginia. This islet was inhabited during the Neolithic period, with excavated archeological sites as evidence. Situated at the foot of the Campo dei Fiori di Varese mountain, Lake Varese is part of the Varese Province. The closest town, with views over the water, is La Schiranna.
