Full Day Tour on Lake Orta

A little lake, not far away from Lake Maggiore, surrounded by mountains in an idyllic landscape. Orta is an ancient fishermen village with tiny lanes and a panoramic market square. It is pedestrian area, no cars are allowed. The town is small and you can reach it with a pleasant walk (it is also possible to organize a taxi transportation). It is suggested the visit to the only Island, San Giulio, where there is a medieval church decorated with frescoes in different styles. Inside the church is a wonderful stone sculpture, an ambo, an ancient pulpit depicting the fight between life and death, good and evil, one of the rare medieval sculptures left. You could add the visit to some of the chapels of the Sacro Monte, on a panoramic hill just dominating the little town of Orta. You can reach it climbing from the shores of the lake, or again by taxi. It would also be possible to organize a private boat tour of 30 minutes on Lake Orta (at extra price). I'll be happy to help you make the most of your visit!
