Physical geography
Caronno Varesino covers an area of about 5.7 km² on the hills delimited to the east by the Tenore (stream) and to the west by the Arno (stream)/Sciona.

Among the areas of great geographical and landscape interest, we remember those inserted in the Rile Tenore Olona Park, in particular the area of Bagnella, so called due to the richness of underground waters, and the Campolungo valley, located in the locality of Stribiana, rich in meadows and cultivations.
