About Piedmont

Piedmont's lakes trade saltwater drama for something quieter: Alpine backdrops, wooded shorelines and island palaces reached in under an hour on the water. A half-day here means gliding past the Borromeo Islands on a Private Guided Boat Tour of Lake Maggiore's Borromeo Islands, or paddling to a hidden waterfall on Lake Orta: Explore the Hidden Waterfall by Kayak before lunch. Both suit travellers who want a compact, high-quality morning or afternoon on the lake rather than a full day at sea.

Frequently asked questions

Piedmont's lakes are compact, so a half-day is genuinely enough. You can cross to the Borromeo Islands, circle Isola Bella's gardens or kayak Lake Orta's shoreline in roughly two to four hours, leaving the rest of the day free. Departures are frequent and most trips stay close to shore, so there is little wasted transit time.
