Known for its peaceful charm and unspoiled beauty, it offers a quiet alternative to the busier lakes nearby.

From here, board the scenic Centovalli Railway for an unforgettable journey through the picturesque “Valley of a Hundred Valleys.” Pass peaceful stone villages, chestnut woodlands, and dramatic gorges crossed by soaring bridges, all the way to Locarno. Your return journey unfolds with a leisurely three-hour boat ride across the full length of Lake Maggiore, bringing you back to Stresa in style.
