Cavargna

Cavargna lies on the slopes above the Cuccio stream in Lombardy, and its position in the upper Val Cavargna has shaped it as a small Alpine community near the Swiss frontier. This valley belongs to the Como hinterland, west of Lake Como and close to Lake Lugano; the Cuccio runs down towards Porlezza. Stone-built lanes and rural buildings give the centre a distinctly mountain scale. Cavargna’s Museo della Valle preserves tools, household objects and evidence of the working traditions that sustained life in the valley. Roads from the village connect a series of highland settlements rather than large towns, setting the area apart from the busier lakeside resorts.
