Laveno, the tourist capital of the eastern shore of Lake Maggiore, is known for its marina which puts it in contact with the Piedmontese shore. The village is also considered an important center for the production of ceramics and porcelain, among the largest in Italy and Europe. Above the village stands Mount Sasso del Ferro, which can be reached by cable car and which represents one of the most popular viewpoints of Lake Maggiore, not only by simple tourists but also by hang-gliding and paragliding enthusiasts.
