Discover the charm of two lakes and two countries on an unforgettable day trip from Milan, nestled in the beauty of Italy’s second-largest lake, surrounded by the Alps. Travel in comfort by private coach to Switzerland, where your journey begins in Lugano, an elegant lakeside town framed by majestic mountains. Enjoy some free time to stroll along the waterfront, sip a coffee, or browse the stylish boutiques of the old town.

Return to Italy and head to Laveno-Mombello, a tranquil village on the eastern shore of Lake Maggiore. Here, you can relax over lunch in one of the local restaurants with beautiful lake views.

Next, board your private boat for a scenic cruise across Lake Maggiore, the second biggest lake in Italy. Along the way, admire the dramatic Hermitage of Santa Caterina, the grand villas and lush gardens lining the shore, and the sweeping mountain landscapes. You’ll also pass the famous Borromean Islands—Isola Madre, Isola Bella, and the splendid Borromeo Palace. Enjoy a stop at Isola dei Pescatori, the lake’s only inhabited island, where you can wander through narrow lanes, explore artisan shops, and experience the authentic charm of a traditional fishing village.

Your cruise continues toward Stresa, an elegant lakeside resort known as the “Pearl of Lake Maggiore,” where you’ll take in the final panoramic views before returning to Milan. This full-day experience combines natural beauty, cultural heritage, and the unique atmosphere of both Italy and Switzerland.
