Swiss Activities Tip

The small town of Vira is located on the shore of the northeastern Lake Maggiore. Along the shore you can stroll wonderfully and stop in restaurants. Worth seeing are the church of Santi Pietro e Paolo and an oratory with beautiful paintings. On the mule track to Fosano you will find a very old and interesting stone bridge that crosses the river over high rocks.
