The Sun's Tour is a traditional walk winding around a hill named "dei Ronchetti" while the Moon's Tour is a pleasant walk in the woods around the Bedorè hill. The tour starts at the Town Hall Square of Agra (Piazza del Municipio) from which you turn into Via Pasquinelli and further on into Via Montessori on the left. Walk downhill along this street and turn into Viale Europa on the right, going past the junction to Via Colmegna and Madonna della Lupera (152) on the left; walking further on, you will reach the junction with Via Giro del Sole on the left. Turn into Via Giro del Sole and continue along this street, go past Via del Leone on the left and reach the Belvedere Mandelli from which you will enjoy a view over Agra and the southern part of Lago Maggiore. Walking along this way, you will get to a flight of step leading to Belvedere Augusto Zucoli, a real balcony above the Lake with a wonderful sight over the Piedmont shore of Lago Maggiore and its surrounding mountains. The path turns right here and skirts around Motto dei Ronchetti and continues through the wood overlooking the Veddasca Valley and offering glimpses as far as the villages on the opposite side of the valley. Walk on past the turning to Monte Formica (154D) on the right and further on past the turning of 152 path on the left leading to the Sanctuary of Monte Venere at Maccagno. Go on and reach Piazzale Ganna, where the Sun's tour end and the Moon's Tour starts, and Via Marconi which leads us back to the village and Via delle Betulle which winds up to Bedorè and where path 154C to Monte Formica starts. In a few metres from Piazzale Ganna you go back to the junction between the Giro del Sole on the left and Giro della Luna on the right. Turn right onto the descending path on the northern slope of Bedorè and go past the junction on the left to the path leading to the Campagnette and the Cinquevie (154A). Walk uphill along the eastern slope of Bedorè past the junction to Bedorè (154B) on the right, just beside the small panoramic viewpoint of the Campagnette. Walk uphill and turn left into the dirt road, continue at first on a flat and then on a downhill path reaching the first houses of the village at Via Borghetto. Turn left at the junction to Via Volta and then right into Via Solferino until you reach the Town Hall Square of Agra.
