About Lake Orta
Thanks to the quiet beauty of the landscape, its fascinating history
and its wealth of artistic treasures, Romanesque and Baroque
architecture, Lake Orta has long been the destination of poets, artists
and writers.
Lake Orta lies to the west of Lake Maggiore, in northern Italy.
Far from the chaos and the unpleasant "stress of life", this restful
area with its blue water and clean air offers the opportunity to
rediscover nature.
Mimosas, palms and olive trees grow around the lake as well as azaleas,
camellias and rhododendron. At higher levels are chestnut
forests, oaks and birch trees.
There are many footpaths that lead from the towns and villages through
the forests up the hills and mountains.
The Mottarone (height 1385 m.) which divides Lake Maggiore from Lake
Orta is equipped with lifts for winter sports. On clear days it
offers a charming view of seven lakes, Monte Rosa and the chain of the
Alps.
BIKE TRAILS: We suggest that you take the funicular railway from
Stresa (tel. ++39-0323-30399) at Lake Maggiore, on which you can take
your mountain bike up to the summit (18 minutes journey) and descend
from the summit towards the slopes of Lake Orta.
WATER SPORTS: Lovers of water sports will find places to swim in
Lake Orta as well as scuba diving, kayaking, sailing and water
skiing. It is possible to rent kayaks, small motor boats and to
windsurf.
FISHING: You may fish at the Laghetto di Bonte Bria and on the
West Bank of the Laghetti di Nonio. There are many fishing clubs
in the area.
HORSEBACK RIDING: There are a number of riding stables at Lake
Orta in Miasino, Egro and Invorio, some of which offer riding courses
at various levels.
GOLF: There are numerous golf courses in the area such as Golf
Club Des Iles Borromées a Brovello Carpugnino - Motta Rossa, n.
18 holes - mt. 6165 - Par72-S.S.S. 72 and Golf Club Alpino a Gignese,
fr. Vezzo, n. 9 holes - mt.5.397 - Par 69-S.S.S.68.
