It is the most Western lake and lies in the Lombardy region. Despite its name it is the second largest lake, coming after Lago di Garda. It is forty-three miles long, making it the longest of the lakes and three miles wide at its widest point between Stresa and Pallanza. A small part of the north of the lake is in Switzerland. This is the part of the lake involved in Hemmingway’s novel, For Whom the Bells Toll. The lake depth is significant for its surface is twelve hundred and twenty-two feet above sea level. The lake depth is five hundred and eighty-seven feet. The climate of the lake is like Lago di Garda and it receives 2300 hours of sunshine a year. Because of this, the water, and the high mountains that block the cold air from north ern Europe the lake maintains a Mediterranean weather with a yearly average of sixty degrees. In comparison, Berlin has 1625 hours of sunshine per year. The lake contains a number of island groups: the Borromean Islands, 5; the Brissago Islands, 2; the Castelli di Cannero, 3; and Isolino Partegora. Lago Maggiore’s history contains a few events of note. The most important and earliest is the discovery of methane gas. In 1776 Allessandro Volta, for whom the word volt is coined, found methane gas in his experiments with marsh gasses. Another event is that Napoleon and his wife Josephine visited the Borromean Islands and the Torriani Castle, to which family, Napoleon traces his heritage. In 1936 Marco Schmucklerski, a Zurich, Switzerland architect, was being investigated for not paying taxes on his 1925 Bugatti Type 22 Brescia Roadster. Instead of any admission of guilt he had his employees sink the car into the lake. It sunk to the bottom. In 1967 during a diving expedition the divers found the car and for years it was a place of attraction for divers. The adventures ceased for in 2009 a local divers club raised the car, and sold it for charity, receiving 265,000 Euros. If interested you can see the car at http://www.huetbrothers.com or in the search bar write Lago Maggiore Bugatti. In writing this article, the various sources of literature about the lake extol its beauty and that of the islands, causing me to suggest it would be a wonderful place to add to your itinerary when you travel to Italy. Laurence Amuso, Member Heritage Committee May’s Winner We would like to extend a Pot of Gold #39 warm welcome to our Ro & Hal Hansen, POG #110, our May winners.

    Lake Maggiore and Islands Private boat tour to discover the Borromean Islands in Lake Maggiore: Isola Bella, Isola Madre, Isola dei Pescatori Lake Como 1 ND Private Lake Maggiore and Islands by private boat Borromean Islands: Isola Bella, Isola Madre, Isola dei Pescatori Lake Maggiore and Islands is a private tour give you the opportunity to discover an other big lake of the region, the ”Verbano”. Via private round trip transportation you will reach Stresa, where you will meet your private licensed guide. After a short visit of the beautiful Piedmont town of Stresa, you will get onboard a private boat and you will start the tour of beautiful and elegant Borromean Islands. Isola Madre Isola Madre is the largest of the islands on Lake Maggiore and its history is bound to the Borromeo family since 1502. Borromeo family worked to create a place of delights and a private residence. The island started to look like a English-style garden with rare plants and exotic flowers even from every continent in the world. Borromeo family entrusted the direction of the works on the palazzo to Pellegrino Tibaldi, a very notorious architect. At the end of 1700 the island appeared just like today, a place of peace and rest thanks to a mild weather and a luxurious nature. Later were built several greenhouses along with the family chapel. The name Madre, still in use, comes from the historical supremacy of the island in Verbano and also, it is said, from the benevolent mood of the mother of Earl Renato Borromeo, Margherita Trivulzio.

  • Inghams Guide and Insights to Lake Maggiore
    Inghams guide and insights to Lake Maggiore Introduction to Lake Maggiore Lake Maggiore’s rich and colourful past seems ever present as you explore and enjoy this spectacular lake with shores bordered with lush Mediterranean vegetation, and the backdrop of the Alps in the distance. Ever since Napoleon built the Simplon highway from Geneva to Milan, which ran to the shores of Lake Maggiore, it became part of the Grand Tour, a haven for Europeans and British pioneers. Seduced by its Mediterranean climate, they built imposing villas and beautiful gardens attracting aristocrats, poets, writers and composers of the time. It was the setting for Ernest Hemingway’s “A Farewell to Arms” and it is easy to imagine his heroes fleeing from the Italian police in a rowing boat, trying to reach the Swiss border of the lake. Kings and Queens, writers, poets and composers such as Verdi, Wagner and Rossini have enjoyed the same panoramic views, nearby islands, exquisite botanical gardens, woodlands and tranquility that exist today. Lake Maggiore is the second largest lake on the south side of the Alps. The west bank is in the Italian region of Piedmont and the right in Lombardy. In the north Lake Maggiore crosses the Swiss border into the canton of Ticino. It is 65 km long and 10 km across at its widest point between Pallanza and Stresa. In spring and early summer the shores are lined with oleander and the scent of orange blossom pervades. Ever present are the magnificent palm trees and the heavenly scent of verbena. Across from Lake Maggiore lie the Borromean Islands and Isola Bella.

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.
