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.
The Gignese Museum is the only one in the world devoted to umbrellas and parasols; its collection comprises over a thousand examples of umbrellas, parasols and handles. Some items are curiosities, or of considerable historical and cultural importance, like the umbrellas that belonged to Queen Margherita of Savoy or the Risorgimento patriot and politician Giuseppe Mazzini. The showcases display finely made and exquisitely decorated umbrellas, which visitors will find intriguing and ravishingly pretty. The section devoted to the life of the umbrella-makers includes photographs of pioneer craftsmen, rudimentary tools from workshops of the past, and the tools that the umbrella makers/menders used when they plied their trade in the streets of Italy and throughout the world. The Museum takes us on a journey through a corner of history, full of images and memorabilia of an ancient trade that the local umbrella makers took successfully all over the world.

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!
