Campo dei Fiori Regional Park

Campo dei Fiori Regional Park is a protected area in Varese that covers mountainous terrain with forests, meadows, and ridges. The landscape includes lakes, nature reserves, and several historical buildings scattered throughout the protected zone.

Regional authorities established this protected area in 1984 to safeguard the mountain landscape and its natural features from overuse. This action made the territory an important site for conservation policy in Lombardy.

The park is home to the Sacro Monte di Varese, a pilgrimage route with chapels scattered along pathways that visitors walk through to experience both spiritual reflection and the landscape. Local traditions have long centered on these paths as places of contemplation and physical journey.

The park has trails of varying difficulty that lead to lakes, viewpoints, and historical sites for visitors to explore on foot. Appropriate footwear and weather-appropriate clothing are important since conditions change with the seasons.

The park contains an extensive cave network running underground through the limestone rock, created over long periods by natural processes. This underground system is scientifically significant and reveals the geological history beneath the surface.
