Mergozzo, overlooking the lake of the same name, is one of the most beautiful lakeside villages in the Lake Maggiore area and has been a sought-after holiday destination since the spring season.
The village is rich in historic buildings and narrow alleyways leading to the charming lakeside promenade, dominated by a centuries-old elm tree estimated to be more than 400 years old.

The centuries-old history of this small town is preserved in the Civic Archaeological Museum, where materials and artifacts dating back as far as prehistory can be found.
Mergozzo is also a land of stone: the granite of Montorfano and the marble of Candoglia are quarried here.
In the locality of Groppole lies an important megalithic complex with two cup marks and a serpent-shaped groove. Slightly elliptical in shape, bordered by stone walls and covered by a large serizzo boulder, this structure is known as the Ca’ d’la Norma and dates back to the Copper and Bronze Ages. The careful arrangement of the supporting stones, the wide forecourt in front, and the petroglyphs on the outer surface of the cover suggest a megalithic burial designed by an already well-organized human community.

From Mergozzo, visitors can embark on several trekking routes immersed in nature, such as the Sentiero Azzurro, which leads to the village of Montorfano along a mule track that follows the lakeshore.
The beaches of Mergozzo are very popular with both tourists and locals and are well equipped with beach volleyball courts, playgrounds, and bars.
Not to be missed are the delicious Fugascine, a typical sweet from Mergozzo, available in every bakery in the village.
