Lake Maggiore, orLago di Maggiore, is one of Italy’s largest and most popular lakes. Formed from a glacier, the lake is surrounded by hills in the south and mountains to the north. This long and narrow lake stretches about 40 miles in length yet ranges from .5 to 2.5 miles in width, with a total shoreline distance of approximately 93 miles. Consequently, it offers year-round tourist activities paired with a mild climate, making it an ideal destination at almost any time of year.
Get a dose of the Italian lifestyle in the Ticino region of Switzerland. While it may not be as famous as Zermatt-Matterhorn, as cosmopolitan as Zurich, or as rugged as the rolling hills and jagged peaks of Jungfrajoch in the Bernese Oberland region, Ticino is an enchanting lake district located on the Italian border. It is a place to slow down, sip wine, and watch the sunset.
