Travel Guide Santa Caterina Del Sasso

The hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso is a must-see on the Lombard shore of Lake Maggiore. Clinging to the mountainside, this religious complex is of rare beauty. It is not located in the municipality of Santa Caterina del Sasso, but in Leggiuno. This small commune of around 3,500 souls also offers a small beach, Arolo Beach . On the other hand, the water is shallow and the bottom rather stony, but it's a very pleasant place to have a drink while watching the sunset and the calm waters of the lake. For sporty types, the Grotta degli Spiriti - Cave of the Ghosts - is a great place to try your hand at climbing.
