About Orta San Giulio
Orta San Giulio rewards travellers who arrive ready to move: a car-free medieval village on a peninsula, a lake ringed by wooded hills, and the Sacro Monte rising through chestnut and beech woods above the rooftops. The most rewarding ways to see it are on the water and on the road, such as the 4-Hour Guided Motorcycle Tour of Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta, which links two lakes in a single ride, or the Orta San Giulio: Village, Sacro Monte and Lake Tour, which pairs the shoreline with the forested pilgrimage path above it.

Frequently asked questions
The setting itself: Lake Orta is small, quiet and largely free of heavy traffic, so the outdoors here feels close and unhurried. You can ride the lakeshore by motorcycle, walk the wooded slopes of the Sacro Monte, or take a private boat to Isola San Giulio.
