A gateway to recharge your mind in nature or to find a silent, quiet and isolated (beautiful) place: here are 5 places in Varese and the province where you can truly listen to silence.
- San Michele al Monte: an old alpine village situted between two of the most beautiful valleys in Varese: Valcuvia and Val Travaglia. Go up there, stop for a lunch at the mountain cabin and then stroll to the panoramic points along in the surrounding green area.

What to do: a paragliding experience, the cableway in Laveno
- The Church of Santa Veronica: an old steep stairway takes to the natural terrace which overlooks the small pictoresque village of Caldè and Lake Maggiore. This oasis with a view is perfect for a pic-nic or just to enjoy a beautiful panorama in the porch of the old church.

What to do: a paragliding experience, lunch and guided tour at Villa della Porta Bozzolo
- The rural borgo of Mustonate: cypresses and open green areas, in a unique perfect context to escape from the real world, not going too far. Mustonate is a lovely story for some relaxing hours.
@fede8b
What to do: a local grappas and liqueurs tasting
- Villa Cagnola and the park: imagine to walk in a huge garden, in an historical frame. The big, beautiful and silent park of Villa Cagnola changes every season and hides some incredible views over lake Varese and the surrounding valleys: it's a perfect place to retreat and think.

Where to stay: Villa Cagnola
What to do: guided tour to discover the village of Castiglione Olona, a bike tour around the lake Varese.
- the peak of Mount Lema, situated on the Swiss border: the bravest can start the path from Pradecolo and reach the top of Lema. Up there the noise coming from lake Maggiore's coast is muffled and the silence is interrupted only by some swishes from paragliders.
