Distretto dei Laghi

How to reach us

Here is the "Distretto Turistico dei Laghi, Monti e Valli"
Romantic lakes, majestic mountains

The romantic atmosphere of the lakes, the grandeur of the mountains, the traces of ancient rural settlements and the excellence of its wine-making art and its cuisine make the Distretto Turistico dei Laghi (Lake District), situated within a stone’s throw from the Swiss border, a perfect place for a high quality vacation.
From Lake Maggiore, with its captivating Borromeo Islands, to the uncontaminated and more tranquil waters of the Lake of Mergozzo, all the way up to the almost bewitching scenario of Lake of Orta with the suggestive Island of San Giulio, the offer is really wide-ranging. Mountain lovers will find here a never ending range of spectacular valleys, where enthusiastic excursionists flock all year long and skiers come during the winter to feel the thrill of exciting ski runs. Countless are the opportunities for shopping around the most fashionable towns and in the company stores of local housewares manufacturers. Winter and summer sports are available no end and the myriad of flavours coming from the local wine-making art and cuisine, which combine tradition and interpretation, give the palate unforgettable emotions. Last but definitely not least culture, shows and events, health spas and wellness centres complete the offer from a territory to be enjoyed all year round, which looks forward to welcoming you as its guests.
