A glorious part of Lago Maggiore is Cerro, Laveno and Santa Caterina the monastery. Outstanding sightseeing, and a place to also take ferries (from Laveno) to the islands and using the prettiest lake side beach in Cerro, with 2 local restaurants and bars for an evening aperitivo.

The Val Grande National Park in the province of Verbano Cusio Ossola, is a larger area of geological interest that has become part of the world network of geoparks, under the patronage of UNESCO. It is the largest wilderness area in Italy, a stone's throw from civilization. A unique valley, where nature is slowly recovering its spaces, where endless forests, transparent waters and uncontested silences accompany our every step. A sanctuary of the environment, to be visited with absolute respect. But Val Grande is also history. The long story of a mountain civilization narrated by the places and people of the villages that surround this area between Ossola, Verbano, Val Vigezzo, Valle Intrasca and Cannobina.

Prehistoric islet with a distinctive triangular shape A few metres from the western shore of Lake Varese, in the municipality of Biandronno, a small triangle-shaped atoll emerges: the Isolino Virginia, a famous European prehistory site. Known as Isola di San Biagio in the 16th century, due to the presence of a small church dedicated to the saint, it was renamed in the late 19th century by its last owner, industrialist Andrea Ponti, in honour of his wife Virginia. This portion of dry land has an area of 9200 square metres and is the oldest pile-dwelling settlement in the Alpine Arc, the findings of which are preserved in the small archaeological museum on the island, the "Andrea Ponti" Museum. Isolino Virginia is a listed archaeological and environmental area and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A site where the combination of history and environment creates a balance of profound beauty. The lake habitat, lily-rich vegetation and varied bird life turn the place into an oasis of tranquillity. You can reach Isolino Virginia from the main landings on the lake.

Isola Madre is the largest of the Borromean Islands and the most characteristic for its quiet and intimate atmosphere. The ancient palace, which preserves prestigious furnishings and an exceptional display of puppets, is surrounded by a splendid garden of rare plants and exotic flowers in which peacocks, parrots and pheasants of every variety live freely, creating the charm of a tropical land. Isola Madre is particularly famous for the flowering azaleas, rhododendrons, camellias, but also for the pergolas of ancient wisteria, the largest European example of Kashmir cypress over two hundred years old, the espaliers of cedars and lemons, the collection of hibiscus, the Ginkgo biloba. Isola Bella is a natural jewel that man's hand has made even more precious: its flowering gardens and artistic beauties enrich the landscape. The garden of Isola Bella, a typical example of a seventeenth-century "Italian garden" developed on terraces, is a true unspoilt paradise where rare exotic plants and flowers of great beauty are preserved. The ancient baroque palace offers visitors an elegant and sumptuous environment that preserves numerous works of art: tapestries, furniture, statues, paintings, stuccoes but also the curious mosaic caves, a place of coolness and pleasure. Isola dei Pescatori (Fishermen's Island) is the only one of the islands that does not belong to the Borromeo family and is inhabited all year round. Its main characteristic are the multi-storey houses, built to make the most of the little space available: they are almost all equipped with long balconies essential for drying fish and in fact owes its name to the fishing activity practiced by its inhabitants. Stresa Tickets: adults starting from €17 children starting from €9 Opening hours: 9.00 - 18.30

There followed the transfer of ownership to the Duke of Vallombrosa and in 1862 the purchase by the noble Genoese Pallavicino family, who enlarged the estate, built roads for vehicles, decorated the park with statues, transforming it from a simple dwelling into the splendid nineteenth-century neoclassical-style villa that still stands on the hill today. But it was Marquise Luisa who completed the work, in 1952, welcoming animals here from every corner of the world to build an exceptional zoo. In 1956 the Pallavicinos decided to transform their marvellous garden into a wildlife museum that was open to the public. Since 2017 the Parco Pallavicino has been part of the circuit of the Terre Borromeo.

Via Don C. Tinelli 19, 21014 Laveno-Mombello Was opened in Laveno Mombello in 1983 on the ashes of an old Lavenese inn. The cuisine is rigorously homemade and based on seasonal products chosen with care directly by the owner and cook Brigida. Love for a healthy and traditional cuisine and continuous search for typical Italian flavors are constant elements of their way of working. Here you will find a comfortable and familiar environment where you can enjoy dishes of the Mediterranean cuisine characterized by a strong southern imprint given the origins of the cook, but there are also typical dishes of the area such as perch risotto or polenta. Reservation is welcomed.

Hang Gliding

Lake Maggiore is the right place to savour the experience of flying like a bird. You will discover what does it mean to soar, turn, climb and dive, reassured by the professional pilots. A magical panorama of Lake Maggiore is the ideal location for great adventures. Try a tandem flight in a hang glider or paraglider on Lake Maggiore! The whole experience will last about a couple of hours, while the actual flight time will be about 15-30 minutes, depending on weather conditions. The advice is to go to the meeting point in comfortable clothing according to the season (jeans and sweatshirt), a kway jacket, sunglasses, a good pair of gloves and mountain boots. Flights can be done all year round, weather permitting, but of course it is better in hot periods. You don't need experience, you just need the desire to "feel free". You will experience an emotion that you will remember forever and that you can relive every time you want thanks to the video that can be made for you.

Golf Rounds

Arona Golf was born in 1999 as a driving range with 18 covered positions and with the vocation to create new golfers. In 2003, the nine-hole Par 68 course was inaugurated and then transformed into a Par 70 with double starts. The course is flat and develops on a natural territory among woods and lakes that differentiate each hole in an original way. *********************************************** Varese Golf Club, founded in 1897, was established in its current site in Luvinate in 1934. The course, originally designed by architects Gannon and Blanford and expanded to 18 holes in the mid-1950s, is an undulating, technically interesting par-72 course. Every hole, surrounded by the green of ancient, majestic plants, offers incomparably beautiful views that embrace Monte Rosa, the Maggiore, Varese and Monate lakes, as well as the hills of the Sacro Monte and Campo dei Fiori, which is directly behind the golf course. The proximity of the Prealps and the altitude of 425 m above sea level ensure a pleasant climate all year round. ********************************* GOLF DEI LAGHI Designed by the architect Piero Mancinelli, Golf dei Laghi was opened in 1993. It is not a particularly long course, but many natural hazards (trees, lakes and streams) require players to take special attention over their shots. The design of the course allows you to play two, six, nine or eighteen holes, always finishing near the club house.The undulating, hilly course offers breathtaking views of Monte Rosa and Lake Maggiore, making the game exciting and enjoyable for players of all levels, requiring attention and strategy.

The proximity of the Prealps and the altitude of 425 m above sea level ensure a pleasant climate all year round. ********************************* GOLF DEI LAGHI Designed by the architect Piero Mancinelli, Golf dei Laghi was opened in 1993. It is not a particularly long course, but many natural hazards (trees, lakes and streams) require players to take special attention over their shots. The design of the course allows you to play two, six, nine or eighteen holes, always finishing near the club house.The undulating, hilly course offers breathtaking views of Monte Rosa and Lake Maggiore, making the game exciting and enjoyable for players of all levels, requiring attention and strategy.
