Optional Treasures of Lake Orta
tour
Spend today at leisure, or join an optional tour to discover the Treasures of Lake Orta.
Take in this picturesque sub-Alpine lake during a panoramic drive. In Orta, the lake's namesake village, you'll find the Sacro Monte, a hidden gem that many visitors have yet to discover: the Sacro Monte, one of nine northern Italian churches intended as pilgrimage sites, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
