Lake Orta or Cusio is a pre-alpine lake of glacial origin, the westernmost of the great Italian pre-alpine lakes. Located entirely in Piedmont, it is divided between the province of Novara and the one of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola.
The trip to the island allows you to discover the Basilica of San Giulio, whose first origin can even be traced back to the fourth century.
The Sanctuary of the Madonna del Sasso stands on a rocky outcrop, overlooking Lake Orta at 638 above sea level in the Boleto territory.
Legro is a fraction of Orta characterised by its houses, almost all decorated with frescoes by artists from Italy and all over Europe.
Piedmont represents an important pole in the Italian wine scene.
The religious complex is located on 400 m above sea level, in a magnificent position above the town of Orta.
Medieval tower owned by the Municipality of Orta but emblem of the local history of the whole Cusio, annexed to the pre-existing Nature Reserve of the Sacro Monte di Orta.
