  • Lake Maggiore the Italian Lakes - Maggiore and Orta
    Telephone: +44 (0) 1722 322 652 Email: [email protected] Lake Maggiore The Italian Lakes - Maggiore and Orta https://www.onfootholidays.co.uk/routes/lake-maggiore/ page 1/10 Route Summary At a glance Lake Maggiore 7 night option (the full walk). Add extra nights on Isola Pescatori or at Orta to enjoy each lake to the full, or on the top of the mountain (Mottarone). This walk has some short walks that can easily be condensed so if you're looking for a more challenging walk, please see our shorter options. How much walking? Full days: 9½-18km per day, 3½-5¾ hrs walking Using shortening options: The Stresa (Carciano) funicular (closed 2021 until further notice) could be used to avoid the walk to Gignese or to Mottarone. No other feasible shortening options (other than to miss whole days) Max. Grade: This walk – On Foot’s first in the Italian Lakes – brings the glory of the Alps to walkers of modest abilities. The area was the first Italian stop on the Grand Tour, and the resorts around Lake Maggiore developed early in a style pleasing to the eye. The three Borromean islands, notable for their gardens, are worth an extra day exploring via the frequent public ferries linking them. Route Highlights ● The islands of Lake Maggiore – Pescatori, Bella and Madre ● Taking the ferry around Lake Maggiore ● The hike up to Mottarone ● Dining in a mountain-top hotel ● The chapels of Sacro Monte ● Orta San Giulio and the convent on the island ● A walk around Lake Orta We Recommend Extra nights at the start and finish to appreciate the lakes, and time in Orta to really explore the 20 chapels of Sacro Monte.
