Cuasso al Monte

Cuasso al Monte combines a wooded Prealpine character with the immediacy of the Italian-Swiss frontier, a contrast that reflects its position between Monte Piambello and Lake Lugano. In the province of Varese, its scattered hamlets occupy slopes above the lake’s southern reaches, where Lombardy meets Ticino. Paths in the surrounding woods lead toward Monte Piambello and the border high ground, while the shores around Porto Ceresio provide a distinctly lacustrine counterpoint. Nearby Monte Orsa and Monte Piambello retain sections of the Cadorna Line, a network of frontier fortifications constructed before and during the First World War.
