The northernmost section of the E1 in Italy begins in Porto Ceresio on Lake Lugano opposite Switzerland. The "Parco Regionale del Campo dei Fiori" is traversed in initially still mountainous terrain before the E1 reaches Lago di Varese and leaves the Alps behind. From Sesto Calende, the E1 follows the Ticino River through the Po Valley west of Milan.
Shortly before Pavia, the E1 leaves the Ticino in a south-westerly direction and leads to the Po and Piedmont.
Note: On the "FIE Maps" page, the route between Turbigo (Stage 1.5) and Sannazzaro De' Burgondi (Stage 1.8) is shown as deviating significantly from our track in some sections. At least between Turbigo and (roughly) Motta Visconti, the marked route seems to correspond more closely to the map on "FIE Maps."
