A little corner of hidden paradise! The Sopino Waterfall is a true gem set in the mountains above Luino. The path to reach it is short but suggestive, surrounded by nature and well signposted. Once you arrive, the sound of the water and the beauty of the waterfall create a magical and relaxing atmosphere. Perfect for a trip out of town or a regenerating break. I recommend going during the week to enjoy it in peace. Absolutely worth seeing!
