On the shores of the lake in Porto Ceresio

The dawn colors the houses and the crests of the lake water with gold. Close to the Swiss border, Porto Ceresio forms a semi-circle around the gulf of Lake Lugano. Its waters are emerald-colored enjoying a constant change from the mountain streams that flow into it from the Valsolda. It is the ideal landing place for those looking for a naturalistic and comfortable holiday. Along the pedestrian street, many water birds inhabit the small beaches equipped for the bathing season. Swans, ducks and geese stretch their sinuous necks under the surface of the clear water, while the rays of the morning sun gild the plumage. You pass by the wooden bridge which offers a romantic walk on the water. Even the murals surrender the scratch to the beauty of the lake and its attractions. The colorful houses and the green of the wooded mountain are reflected in the lake giving depth to the panorama. The tortoise of Punta Paradiso, already in the Swiss part, makes you dream the reflection on the waters of the Porto Ceresio Lake.
