Dive into lake life in Lake Maggiore

Sailing on the lake between islands and gastronomy
We will sail at sunset between the Borromean islands, off the sanctuary of Santa Caterina del Sasso, Stresa, Feriolo and Pallanza, tasting local products at km. 0 and sipping quality wine, to the notes of an accordion played live on the lake. We will depart from the port of Labieno and the "tour" will end at 20:00 returning to the port of departure. If the weather permits you can take a short swim in an enchanting corner of the lake. It is possible to decide together with the skipper the places to visit, weather permitting. It is also possible to book for groups of up to 4 participants. The rates depend on the number of members. Contact us for more detailed information and to get a DISCOUNT.
Canoe tour on Lake Maggiore
Navigate in silence on the calm waters of Lake Maggiore, surrounded only by the water and the colors of the sky. Paddling and exploring together inlets and unique stretches of coast that surround our destination: the hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso. It is a hermitage dating back to the twelfth century rather impressive both for the surrounding landscape and for the construction that seems almost wedged in the rock of the mountain. Canadian canoeing is a sport within everyone's reach; thanks to its open shape, the wide hull and the slightly raised bow and stern it is one of the best solutions for getting around on the water. Other things to note We will have a waterproof bag available for each guest to place our objects and keep them protected from possible splashes of water.
Slow boat tour with aperitivo on board
I will take you to discover Lake Maggiore from a different perspective: enjoy the lake in its many aspects. With a quiet pace we will head to the chosen location, where we will stop, turn off the engine and enjoy a fabulous aperitif, enjoying the sun that still warms us. Then return to navigation and enjoy the refreshing breeze before returning to port. Other things to note Possibility to park the car comfortably about 100 meters from the embarkation without fee, not guarded but quiet
