Lake Maggiore, Lake Orta and Mottarone Mountain in Style - 6 Days

This tour takes you through Stresa, Mottarone and Orta, with three-star hotels providing double occupancy rooms and private facilities at each stop. One night is spent in a mountain refuge, an experience shared across both standard and upgraded packages. The refuge is welcoming by nature but simple by design, with basic rooms that reflect what a refuge is meant to be. It is open seven days a week from June to September, and from April to May and October it is closed on Monday nights and all day Tuesday. Hosts across the properties know the region well and are always happy to talk about its history, food and wine. Our team is on hand throughout the walk should you need us.

One thing worth knowing is that Italian hotel ratings do not always match international standards. A three-star property in Italy will often sit closer to a two-star hotel elsewhere and most hotels below four stars do not have air conditioning. B&Bs on this route are simple in style, with some more charming than others and varying room types at different prices.

Breakfast kicks off every morning of this tour, with five included across the trip. Dinner on day three at Mottarone is also included. When it comes to lunch and dinner on all other days, this part of Italy rarely disappoints, and your walk notes will arm you with insider tips on where the freshest bread is found, which producers are worth visiting for olive oil and wine, and where to eat well along the route. Your hosts are equally well placed to offer dinner suggestions each evening.

Note: Please advise us of any food allergies or intolerances at the time of booking. If you have severe allergies, bringing some of your own snacks is recommended, as specialist ingredients can be harder to source along the way.
