Hiking near Stresa

I did a lot of walking from Stresa when I was there in 2023. Above the town there are some nice walking, my phone recognized the access to trails
Chestnut Route 8km ,Mottarone Loop 4.9 ,Stresa to Gignese 10.8(although I didn't walk all of it)
Stresa had a cable car at one time but there was a terrible accident with fatalities several years before my trip,but it's still a walking landmark for some trails. Alpina to Baveno for example.
And since it's easy to ride the train from Domodossola to Switzerland I did that twice because why not?
like the Vigezzina Centovalli Railway.

Lots of beautiful train rides, I am a hiker but I imagine the towns have opportunities for biking as well .
Domossola is only 30 minutes by train from Stresa. Domossola is where the train station is.

Thanks so much for your quick response! I didn't know about the Gignese one. I'm sure we will walk the Chestnut route in town. I did know about the tragic cable car crash that occurred years ago.
I was planning on a ride to Domodossola one day, so I think we will do a hike from there, too. I will check out the Vigezzina Centovalli rail ride, too!
Thanks again.

There's a trail that essentially follows under the cable car route. Starting from Stresa you pretty much head uphill through the town to Someraro, a small village. There's a great restaurant there, Al Rustico, where you may be the only non-Italian speakers. From Someraro you can head north to Campino or south to Levo. There's another hike that takes you south to the town of Belgirate. It's a less strenuous trail, more rolling, but longer. I think there's a ferry that can then take you back to Stresa, or you can take the train or bus. We use Gaia GPS for hiking routes. By the way, we saw lots of cyclists on the road on our hike out to Campino.

Thanks to you both for this information! Sounds like we will have more than enough options to fill up our 4 days!
