MOTTARONE
The Mottarone, situated between Lake Maggiore
and Lake d'Orta, is considered one of
the most beautiful natural balconies in the whole Piedmont and
Lombardy. The visitor's eye is struck by the summit of Monte Rosa
and by the seven lakes (Lake Maggiore, Lake d'Orta, Lake Mergozzo,
Lake Varese, Lake Comabbio, Lake Monate, Lake Biandronno) lying in a
natural basin. The Cableway Stresa-Alpino-Mottarone leaves from Piazzale Lido, in the hamlet
of Caroiano di Stresa.
It takes 20 minutes
to reach an altitude of 1.491 meters above the sea level
and brings 40 people per cage. For nature lovers, 300 meters from
the intermediate stop of the cableway in the hamlet Alpino there
is the Botanical Garden Alpinia extended for about 40.000
square meters, with over 800 different species and from which you
can enjoy an incredible view of Lake Maggiore and
over the Borromean Islands.
