Brezzo di Bedero - Lake Maggiore & Lake Orta Travel Guide

Brezzo di Bedero lies on the east shore of Lake Maggiore, between Germignaga and Luino to the north and Porto Vatravaglia to the south. Here the landscape opens out between the lake and the mountain range to the east into a harmonious area of rolling hills.

On your drive along the lake, it is worth leaving the lakeside road at Germignaga or Porto Valtravaglia and taking the inland road instead. The small detour is rewarded with lovely views.

The village's favourable position offers a varied contrast between life by the water and the walking opportunities in the hills, with waymarked trails on the mountain slopes to the east.

The mild, sunny climate and natural shelter from cold winds make for a pleasant stay even in the winter months.



Brezzo di Bedero also has something to offer visitors culturally. At its heart is the "Stagione Musicale della Canonica" music festival. The Canonica music season has been running since the 1970s.

The Collegiata of S. Vittore (Canonica) was built in 1137 on the foundations of an older church. It is one of the most important examples of Romanesque architecture in the Province of Varese.

Frescoes from the 15th and 16th centuries have been preserved in the apse, in the right-hand aisle and in the sacristy. The organ, built around 1700, is also worth mentioning.
