On the road in Malcantone

A region full of diversity: mountains, lakes and chestnut forests - perfect for hikers, (mountain) bikers, nature lovers and explorers in search of adventure.

The special attraction of the Kastanienland is the difference in altitude in a small area, which leaves those seeking peace and quiet and outdoor activities spoilt for choice between the lake area, hilly landscape, wild and romantic forests and high mountains.

The wealth of Malcantone lies in its artistic and cultural treasures, which combine with the beauty of nature. For exploring all year round.
