Argegno – What to see

Besides the enchanting medieval centre of Argegno, situated along the river bank, where we find the lovely stone bridge, besides the antique houses and old factories, the village offers the pretty Chiesa Della SS. Trinità

Argegno, Lago di Como Carnevale di Schignano Monte Generoso

Along the road for Schignano we find the 17th century Sanctuary of Sant’Anna, rich inside with stuccoworks and frescos of the century 17th and 18th century, along with superb carved furniture. At Pigra instead you can find the Oratorio of San Rocco, that dates back to the 16th century, with fresco from 1662 signed by S. Pozzi.

Argegno is located at the foot of the Valle d’Intelvi, that joins the Lario with Lake Lugano, that represents a starting point for exploration. The road for Schignano, village that organizes the oldest, most unusual and characteristic carnival of the whole lake, goes up to the Monte Generoso (1700m) that offers a vast view, from the Alps to the Padana plain.

Another route of the Valle d’Intelvi is the one that goes up the left side from Castiglione, Pigra and San Fedele d’Intelvi. Excursions on this side are possible and cover the villages of Lanno, Ponna or Pellio Intelvi, as an alternative it is possible to go down until Lugano Lake.
