There are many lovely and scenic parts of Italy. It is an incredibly beautiful place with a very varied landscape from the Alps to Mediterranean shores and everything in between. However, one of the most famously beautiful parts of Italy is the area in and around Lake Como, which has solidified its popularity as a holiday destination. In particular, the Parco della Val Sanagra, is a wonderful protected natural park that lies in this area. If you have found a vacation rental in Lombardy and are looking for somewhere to hike, breathe in the cleanest of fresh air, admire the beauty of nature, and enjoy a relaxed and healing natural setting, then it is absolutely ideal.
Parco Val della Sanagra, or the Sanagra Valley, is located in the comune of Grandola ed Uniti and Menaggio, in the heart of the Lepontine Alps, between Lake Como and Lake Lugano. It is a large area with a rich flora and fauna that is dotted by old, and rather charming, little Alpine settlements. Made a protected area in 2005, it is made up of sections covered in vast forests of birches, oaks, chestnut trees, beeches, and firs; Alpine pastures; grasslands; hills and peaks; and rock formations. Its mico-climate have allowed it to play host to some rare botanical species, some of which are endemic to the area, as well as deer, eagles, and lots of other birds and animals.
There many walking routes that spread out across the large territory of the Parco della Val Sanagra that take in various different parts of the park and the interesting buildings and settlements that are set amongst the incredible natural beauty of the place, such as the ancient mills, the village of Loveno, Monti di Madri, elegant historic villas, and more. One of the must-see elements in the park, however, is Il Rogolone, which is a truly enormous oak tree, that has come to be the symbol of the Park.
If you are looking for a place of true natural beauty that is protected and peaceful, then this magical part of Italy will fit the bill nicely.
