Ideas for Lake Maggiore

Boating on Lake Maggiore

Lake Maggiore is a long Alpine lake shared by Piedmont, Lombardy and Switzerland, with palaces, castles and islands along its shores. From Angera and Sesto Calende in the south or Verbania and Ghiffa further north, boat days usually head for the Borromean Islands, with swim stops along the way.

Where to go by boat

  • Isola Bella

    Island taken up by the Borromeo palace and its terraced Baroque gardens.

  • Isola dei Pescatori

    Small island of fishermen's houses and narrow lanes.

  • Rocca di Angera

    Medieval fortress on a rock above the lake's southern shore.

  • Santa Caterina del Sasso

    Hermitage clinging to a cliff on the eastern shore, with a landing stage.

Tip: A northerly breeze (tramontana) often blows in the morning and a southerly one (inverna) in the afternoon, so plan around them, and keep clear of ferry routes and landing stages.
