The Cinque Vette Park is a natural park, established by the Region of Lombardy on 19 June 2017.[1] The park is located in the north-eastern part of the Province of Varese, in the Italian region of Lombardy. It takes the name from the main geographic features located in the park, the five mountain peaks. The project was launched with the aim of the three local councils of (Cuasso al Monte, Marzio, and Valganna) to preserve a green area and make it available for touristic-sportive-cultural initiatives above 500 meters of altitude. The primary goal of the park is to encourage the discovery of the natural features of the north-eastern part of Varese, which offers panoramic view points and preserves historical aspects such as: the remains of the Cadorna Line; the ruins of the Castle of Cuasso al Monte; the Artistic village of Boarezzo; the Saint Gemolo Abbey; the Alpine Village of Mount Piambello; and, the Hospital of Cuasso Al Monte.[2]
