CYCLING / MOUNTAIN BIKING

Whether a leisurely family excursion or an adventurous mountain bike tour, Lago Maggiore offers a wide range of possibilities. Without a doubt, one of the greatest challenges is the 190-kilometre round trip around the lake.

STAND-UP PADDLING

Stand-up paddling has become the new trend sport for young and old. So, why not give it a try and rent a board and start your first attempts with us. Or you have already gained experience, then enjoy the wonderful Lago Maggiore from your board.

FISHING

A great experience is for sure: fishing on Lago Maggiore. If you like to catch your own dinner, here, you have the best chance of catching trout, pike, perch and zander. For fishing you need a fishing licence (Licenza die pesca die tipo D) available here for 14€, valid for 90 days from date of issue.

ADVENTURE KAYAK

Lago Maggiore is ideal for kayak and canoe lovers. The long routes lead through unspoilt landscapes and the numerous rivers also invite you to exciting rafting tours.

THE GARDENS OF VILLA TARANTO

With over 20,000 species of plants, the park of Villa Taranto, which covers over 16 hectares, is one of the most famous. Here, you can admire the beautiful, terraced gardens with water basins and water features and take a rest on the many seating areas or stroll through one of the many streets with azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons.

ADVENTURE PARK BAVENO

The Aquaadventure Park in Baveno is a modern amusement park and offers lots of adventurous fun for the whole family. Here, you can experience exciting sports, whether it's climbing over numerous suspended trails or riding your bike on the cyclocross track. You can also enjoy the park in winter, when the swimming pools are covered with a glass dome.

SAFARI PARK IN POMBIA

The Safari Park in Pombia is both, an animal and safari park, with about 600 animals, a theme park with a Ferris wheel, 10-D cinema, parrot show, etc. A visit is worthwhile for young and old even on rainy days, as most of the facilities and attractions are indoors.

BAROQUE ON THE LAKE

The Borromeo Islands are a small group of islands. They owe their name to the Borromeo family, who had owned them since the 12th century. The group consists of five islands, located near the towns of Pallanza and Streza.

The best way to explore them is with a hop-on hop-off boat tour. You can buy a day ticket from the local ferry company. The boats run between the individual islands for the entire day. For those who prefer something a little more exclusive, a sunset tour on a sailing boat is recommended.

Isola Madre is the largest.
Isola Bella is said to be the most beautiful.
Isolino di San Giovanni is more of an islet and, with a diameter of 140m and two inhabitants, tiny.
Isola dei Pescatori is a fishing village.
Scoglio della Malghera is the smallest and uninhabited.

GIVE CLIMBING A TRIAL

The Via Ferrata dei Picasass is the only climbing route on Lago Maggiore. This route is not particularly difficult and leads up the Monte Camoscio (890m) in a very scenic location.

Starting point is Baveno on Lago Maggiore. There is a small car park just above the Camping Tranquilla in Baveno.

You walk uphill in a westerly direction on the hiking trail M3. After a short walk in the forest, you come to the turnoff for the via ferrata.

The entrance to the Ferrata Picasass is a smooth but sloping slab that is secured with many clamps. From there, you can already enjoy a great view. Then, walk until you reach a cave, where the next long row of clamps follows.

Continue upwards, somewhat steeper and with stimulating traverses and further beautiful ascents, until you reach the exit at a plateau, where the climbing book is located. Continue to the final long rope bridge (can be bypassed). From there, you can see the summit cross of Monte Camoscio.

From the summit, a short descent to the nearby Rifugio and back to Baveno via the M3 hiking trail in 1.15 hours.
