Grand Tour del Lago Maggiore ® - Tappa 8 - Maccagno - Pino - Zenna - Vira Gambarogno (CH)

An 11-stage trek that brings together and connects ancient historical routes, paths and pre-existing trails on the shores and hills surrounding Lake Maggiore, designed by CAI Sezione Verbano Intra. Descriptions are available on the Website.

Covering 22.0 km, this demanding trail is best tackled by experienced walkers in good condition. Budget roughly 4 hours and 53 minutes or consider splitting it across two days.

This linear trail moves from one end to the other without looping back. A return journey by transport — or retracing the path — is needed to get back to the start. Look for the GTLM trail markings to stay on the official route.

Part of the Local Walking Network (LWN), this trail is ideal for exploring the neighbourhood landscape. It is typically well-known to local walkers and offers an authentic sense of place.
