The most prominent area in Piedmont is Lake Maggiore. It borders the Lombardy in the east and extends into Switzerland in the North.
Lake Maggiore is a great destination for a full day excursion and a longer vacation. The lake shores are lined with charming towns. Stresa, Arona, Verbania, and Baveno are great places to visit. Boats take visitors around the lake and the Borromean Islands.
The mountain range of Monte Mottarone with wonderful hiking trails and enchanting lake views separates Lake Maggiore from the idyllic Lake Orta.
