Taking Your Dog to the Beach and the Lake

Dogs are not allowed on many beaches in Italy. Here, it’s different: Your dog is welcome on Lakeview’s exclusive private beach and can swim in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Maggiore. The beach is so spacious that all guests, with or without a dog, can find a quiet spot.

Please note: In Italy, dogs must be kept on a leash in all public areas by law. This also applies to our private beach and all common areas of the resort. If your dog needs a shower after a refreshing swim, you can use our free dog shower at the washhouse on the mobile home level!

Walking and Hiking with Your Dog in Cannobio

A forest trail begins right at the resort and, after about 500 meters, joins a wider hiking trail. From there, it’s about 200 meters to Cannobio or about 1 kilometer to Campeglio. Perfect for a daily walk.

  • To Sant'Agata (about 1 hour): From the Cannobio-Nizzolino neighborhood, about 100 meters from the resort, the trail leads through the artists’ village of Ronco—with its wooden and metal sculptures—up to Sant'Agata. At the top, a fantastic view of Cannobio and the lake awaits you.
  • Through the forest to Cannobio (about 60 min.): Via Campeglio—a pleasant, shaded route on hot days for both dogs and people.
  • To the Cannobina Valley: Follow the banks of the Cannobina River all the way to the Cannobina Valley.

At our front desk, you'll also find a very large hiking map and our Lakeview Hiking Guide, a small booklet featuring several hikes in the region. For more information, visit our page for hikers at Lake Maggiore.

Good to Know: Rules for Dogs in Italy

  • Leashes are required in all public areas, including the beach and the resort.
  • Muzzles: Dogs are required to wear muzzles on most public transportation in Italy. This rule is rarely enforced, but we recommend that you bring a muzzle with you when using public transportation.
  • Please always clean up after your pet immediately. You can get the bags from us.

We all know that medical problems usually arise when you least expect them. Of course, we won’t leave you to handle this on your own: There’s a veterinarian in Cannobio and a veterinary clinic in Verbania.
