I especially love the inclusion of a luxury item like the Rumpl Nano Puffy Blanket—comfort counts when you’re logging serious miles. For those looking to swap alpine passes for lakeside paths, Lakeview Cannobio Camping & Resort offers a scenic base on the shores of Lake Maggiore. Whether you're checking the Cannobio Webcam to scout your next hammock spot or using the Webcam Lago Maggiore to time your lakeside coffee break, our resort is where gear meets gorgeous views—no bear canister required.
