A relaxing afternoon to one of the most beautiful lakes in Europe: Lake Orta. Surrounded by lush woodland Orta really is a hidden secret.
We arrive in Omegna at the north of the lake and take a boat cruise to the enchanting S. Giulio’s Island, where you can visit the 12th century Basilica and crypt of S. Giulio. Or simply admire the views across the lake from the single lane that circles the island. Picking up the boat again we carry on to the village of Orta itself.
There is free time to stroll and admire the quaint cobbled streets of Orta S. Giulio, the secret lakeside garden behind the town hall and what could be better than sipping an espresso or indulging in a gelato at a café in the picturesque lakeside piazza?
The afternoon continues through the scenic countryside of the Vergante Hills and along the southern tip of Lake Maggiore and the towering statue of S. Carlo Borromeo, said to be the largest in the world, with panoramic views of the lake.
