Every year i come to back to Arona and i cannot leave without going to the Rocca. It is simply the best spot of Arona. The view of the city and of the lake is amazing. It is an absolutely must do when you are on the lake!

Good place for couples, families or solo women travelers. I visited twice, once alone by walking up the steep, unpaved path up to the top and once by car. Both times there were very few people and it was incredibly relaxing. There’s about a two block walk up an incline from the small parking area to the restaurant, half of it in shade. Great views and breeze. Also a few benches and a few places to sit in the shade on the grass near the pond. A family decided to come play soccer in the shade with their young kids right next to where we were sitting, despite a near empty park. Of course a little one kicked a ball right at us. Whatever. I mention it to provide ideas if you’re traveling with kids who need a wide open space to run around in.

It is a unmissable spot when you visit Arona. It is one of my favourite place and the location is amazing. During the years the ruins of the castle have been restored and now they are the perfect background to this park.
The view is simply amazing....no doubts that it is the best view of the Lake Maggiore

A great spot with a great panoramic view of Lago Maggiore.
The park is very well kept and lovely for an afternoon just hanging in the shade of some tree or other.
The bar serves a great coffee. I suggest the "taglieri" and the pizza.

Nice park it has great panoramic view of that area of the lake and the villages around it. There isnt a option for a picnic so its unfourtunate. If you are around its worth a visit it can take less than half a hour detour

The castle is in ruins but it is good exercise to walk up to the top and the views of the lake are lovely. There's a bar at the top!

This is a lovely park. Great for young children. There is a bar/restaurant with pleasant staff. The view is worth the visit and you can reach it with the little train.

Scusate ma le mostre sono alla rocca Borromeo o ad Angera?

A quella di Angera, ad Arona viene usata villa Ponti dove ci sono mostre temporanee di un buon livello (opere di Picasso, Van Gogh, ecc..).
Alla rocca di Arona a volte fanno alcuni concerti interessanti.

Buongiorno, è possibile arrivare fino in cima alla rocca con un accesso ai disabili?

Buona serata sono disabile pure io, ma il viaggio con il trenino che abbiamo fatto per arrivare alla Rocca non è stato per nulla difficile. Se invece si possiede un'auto, si può lasciare a poca distanza. Buona settimana

Ciao, avrei bisogno di sapere se esiste una tariffa di ingresso per visitare il parco della Rocca Borromea di Arona per organizzare una visita e capire come muovermi. Grazie!

Il parco è liberamente accessibile, ed osserva orari di apertura e chiusura; sono solo visibili alcune rovine ( compreso la casa natale di San Carlo Borromeo) mentre alcune altre ( torre di avvistamento) sono state restaurate e ad accesso libero. C’è anche un bar per una piccola sosta per godere il panorama.

Buongiorno,
La passeggiata quanto dura? È meglio andare con scarpe comode?
Oppure si può arrivare fino in cima con la macchina?
Faccio queste domande poiché volevamo andare dopo un bel pranzo domenicale evitando di arrivare impreparati.
Grazie

È un parco non tanto grande, non la chiamerei camminata.
Camminata se si lascia la macchina in centro allora li si ci vuole un po’ di tempo, altrimenti può lasciare la macchina all’ingresso in un parcheggio sterrato, poi sono pochi minuti.
Se si vuole smaltire meglio lasciare la macchina a lago.
C'è abbastanza spazio nel parcheggio per parcheggiare il camper?

Si, con la macchina si può arrivare fino all'ingresso, dove c'è il posto per poter parcheggiare. Poi si entra a piedi.

Scusate l'ignoranza, ma dato che ci devo andare settimana prossima volevo sapere se per visitare la Rocca di pagava qualcosa oppure era libera e c'è un sentiero da seguire magari si può raggiungere anche in macchina?
Aspetto una risposta e vi ringrazio in anticipo 😉

Ciao,
la visita è gratuita.
Controlla gli orari sul sito: parco rocca arona (cercalo con Google)
in questo periodo mi sembra sia aperto solo nel fine settimana.
Si può raggiungere sia in macchina che con una passeggiata di 10 minuti da Arona.
Sul sito troverai maggiori dettagli.
Un saluto.
