I am looking to travel to Italy (Milan area) with my 24 year old daughter. Wondering if you know of any hikes that we may do from town to town? Thank you.
I'm not your hiking expert, but lakes in the region are a good place to start. Around Lake Como, see http://www.lakecomo.it/en/excursions_and_trekking, for instance.
On Lake Maggiori by the town of Stresa.
