Cannobio is a pretty locality, bordering Switzerland, located on the north-western shore of Lake Maggiore and at the mouth of the Cannobina Valley.

In the last 21 years Cannobio has been awarded the prestigious environmental recognition of the FEE, the Blue Flag.

Since 2011, this town has also obtained the recognition of the orange flag from the Italian Touring Club, the important recognition of tourist-environmental quality conferred to small towns in the Italian hinterland, with a maximum of 15,000 inhabitants, which stand out for an offer of excellence and a quality welcome.
