Program 

Day 1 Ascona - Stresa- Cannero 

Departure from the port of Ascona in the early morning to reach Isola Bella by boat with a private cruise of about two hours.  Once our SUP is prepared we will have time to stroll through the beautiful streets of Isola Bella and be literally catapulted into another era.  

 

Located about 400 meters off the coast of Stresa, the beautiful island is the second largest island of the Borremee, famous for the baroque architecture that characterizes its palace and the splendid Italian gardens that surround it. Those who wish can purchase a day pass to visit the Palace and its gardens.  

​

Once we have visited the island we will begin our journey on the lake by rowing north. We will pass by Verbania and then skirt the entire shore of the lake discovering hidden places and small inlets invisible from the road and then reach the splendid village of Cannero in the evening where we will spend the night in a hotel overlooking the lake.

​

Day 2 Cannero- Locarno

After breakfast we will set off again towards Locarno. Almost immediately we will be able to admire the 16th century walls of the Cannero castles with a unique view from the water.  

 

Always keeping close to the shore, we will reach Cannobio where we will stop by visiting the local market and enjoying a good lunch in one of the many restaurants overlooking the city port.

 

From Cannobio we will then cross the Italian border aiming for the Brissago Islands and its splendid gardens  to then continue and conclude our trip to Ascona.
