Lake Orta, also known as Lago di Orta, is a hidden gem among the northern Italian lakes
One of the allures of the picturesque Lake Orta is the charming Isola San Giulio nestled at its center, hosting a centuries-old basilica and monastery.
Ferries regularly transport visitors to the island from the medieval village of Orta San Giulio, where you can explore its historic center and admire the 16th-century town hall. For a more elevated experience, ascend the hill above the town to visit the Sacro Monte chapels. While the lake’s shores are graced by a few small towns like Pettenasco and Omegna, Lake Orta offers a distinctively unhurried and unspoiled ambiance, setting it apart from the tourist-centric experiences of Lake Garda or Lake Como.
Lake Orta serves as an enticing day trip option from Milan or Stresa, with the convenience of joining a coach tour for a hassle-free exploration of the area.
