Zermatt & Matterhorn Tour
With Switzerland just a short trip away, this tour makes the most of the gems on Lake Maggiore's doorstep. You'll have plenty of time to soak up the scenery and grab a few snaps as we wind our way through the Ossola Valley before taking the rack and pinion railway to the chic Swiss resort of Zermatt. Wander the clusters of wooden chalets, enjoy a typical Swiss lunch, and admire the sight you'll not be able to take your eyes off – the Matterhorn. Its jagged, fin-like peak can be seen from all around.

Lake Como, Maggiore and Lugano Tour
For scenery, it's hard to beat what you'll encounter on this three-lakes, two-countries tour. The trip begins on a high as we pass the romantic ‘floating' castles of Cannero on the western shores of Lake Maggiore. Cross the border into Switzerland, heading for LuganoStroll along the promenade, and head for the Piazza Riforma and Ciani Park for some sightseeing. We cross back into Italy next, heading for the rustic lakeside village of Tremezzo. Admire its lavish collection of palaces. Rounding off the day is a stop at Como, an elegant city that blends Italianate and Habsburg styles.

Lake Maggiore Island Tour
This half-day tour whisks you away to two of three Borromean Islands in Lake Maggiore. After a quick boat trip, you'll arrive at the shores of tiny Isola dei Pescatori – it's barely 500m long by 100m wide. You'll be able to wander among its tiered, narrow alleys lined with plant-bedecked houses. Then, it's off to Isola Bella, which means ‘Beautiful Island'. And it's got a showstopper of a baroque palace as well as tiered Italianate gardens, inspired by the hanging gardens of Babylon. The shell-encrusted grottoes on the lower floor are well worth a look, too.

Macugnaga & Monte Rosa Tour
Located at the base of Monte Rosa, the village of Macugnaga is your passport to an Alpine adventure. As the second tallest mountain in Europe, Monte Rosa will have you captivated from the moment you set eyes on it. After driving up Anzasca Valley, you'll arrive in the remote village of Macugnaga. At 1,300 metres above sea level, it is like something out of Heidi – typical Alpine buildings, a flower-filled piazza, a 12th-century stone church and panoramic views of the surrounding peaks.

Lake Orta Tour
Known locally as La Cenerentola, or Cinderella, Lake Orta has an ethereal, unspoilt quality far away from the crowds. While Lake Orta is the smaller and less visited of Italy's subalpine lakes, it's considered one of the prettiest by many. There's free time to sip a drink at a café in a lakeside piazza or just sit back and soak up the lake's mountain backdrops. You'll also catch sight of the islet in the middle of the lake, San Giulio, one of the northern Italy's best-kept secrets. And, if you want to take a closer look, there's an optional boat trip out to it.
