Experience Lake Maggiore in the easiest, most comprehensive, and most captivating way with the Lake Maggiore Island Pass, an experience designed for those who want to discover multiple locations in just a few days, travelling comfortably across the lake, stress-free, and without having to purchase separate tickets.

Departing from Stresa, one of the lake’s most elegant and popular resorts, this pass allows you to combine the hop-on hop-off service to the famous Borromean Islands with scenic boat trips to botanical gardens, historic hermitages, and romantic lakes, creating the perfect itinerary to suit your schedule and interests.

One pass, endless possibilities

At the heart of the experience is the hop-on/hop-off service to the Borromean Islands: you can get on and off the motorboats as often as you like to visit Lake Maggiore’s most famous islands, such as Isola Bella and Isola dei Pescatori, managing your time completely independently.
The boat ride itself becomes part of the journey, offering uninterrupted views of historic villas, waterfront gardens, and mountains reflected in the lake.

Depending on the option you choose, you can add to this iconic experience some of the region’s most stunning destinations, all of which can be easily reached by boat, such as the famous Botanical Gardens of Villa Taranto, the Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso, or Lake Orta and the picturesque island of San Giulio.

The Villa Taranto Botanical Gardens are considered among the most beautiful in Europe. Spanning over 40 acres and featuring thousands of plant species from around the world, they offer an immersive experience amidst seasonal blooms, scenic pathways, ornamental fountains, and views of the lake.
The entrance ticket is included, and arriving by boat makes the visit even more enjoyable.

The Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso is one of the most iconic and photographed sites on Lake Maggiore. Perched on a cliff overlooking the water, it offers a unique atmosphere, poised between spirituality and the surrounding landscape.
Reaching it by boat is the most evocative option: the hermitage gradually appears before you, offering one of the most breathtaking views of the lake.

The romantic Lake Orta is a gem located just a few kilometres from Lake Maggiore. With the pass, you can visit Orta San Giulio and take a boat to the magical island of San Giulio, famous for its thousand-year-old basilica, quiet narrow streets, and timeless atmosphere.
