Lake Orta Museums
The museums around Lake Orta, the most beautiful lake in Italy, are the authentic testimony to the industrious life of its inhabitants over the centuries. Wood and copper craftsmen, brass musical instruments and much more. The Lake D’Orta has always distinguished itself for the quality of its hospitality and also its hoteliers, restaurateurs and cooks have a museum dedicated to them.
In a courtyard in the centre of Borgomanero, Nathalie has opened la Maison 1706. A little gem, cared for with passion and furnished with a feeling for genuine hospitality. In an 18th century building, it offers three bedrooms with all comforts and both modern and rustic furnishings.

IMAGINATION AND FLAVOUR IN THE ANCIENT STREETS OF ORTA In a slightly off the beaten position, almost as if you had to look for it, but also to try it out. Combinations that are anything but banal, on occasion contrasting, simple ingredients that at times are organic, rather like the small cellar of wines. In summer, lake terrines and “carpione”, Piedmontese pickled specialities, eel on a skewer or brochette, home-made pastas and fillings. A contemporary almost playful style of furnishing in the dining rooms on two different levels.

Hotel Ristorante Al Sorriso was born in 1981, from the initiative of Angelo, reduced from an international formation as a restorer to the very highest levels and Luisa, self-taught and original cook from Soriso.

Today, after thirty years, the Michelin star and the numerous international awards make Al Sorriso an oasis of harmony and cordiality, a delightful concentration of emotions. A dream, in short. Angelo and Luisa Valazza will welcome you in the best way in this small ancient village: porphyry paved streets and bowls that wind through the old restored houses respecting the ancient and mild style of the population where the silence, the fresh and pleasant climate reigns undisputed.

Thanks to its enviable geographical position, nestled as it is between the great lakes of the Northwest (Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta) and the majestic alpine mountains (Monte Rosa), the Mottarone offers a panoramic flight of rare beauty. The south-west exposure of the main take-off and the morphology of the mountain itself suggest to plan the take-off from the afternoon until sunset; on the contrary, it is precisely when the sun drops to the west and the thermal currents gradually lose strength that this site of flight gives the best of itself, allowing the pilot to rise above the summit and enjoy an incomparable landscape. A take-off with an east exposure is also available, one step away from the arrival station of the Stresa-Mottarone cable car, ideal for a beautiful morning flight over the Borromean Gulf. From North West Paragliding you can book fantastic flights in two-seater paragliding in Val Vigezzo, Mottarone, Quaggione, Lusentino or any other VCO flight site!
