Canoe & kayak.
Another perspective
The quietest way to discover the lake.
Hop into a canoe or kayak from the jetty on the tip of the Orta peninsula, just minutes from the campsite. A few paddle strokes and you're facing the Island of San Giulio, among crystal-clear waters and views you can only reach by water.
The village, the shores, the Sacro Monte seen from the water: an unusual perspective that changes the way you look at the lake. Fitness, relaxation and respect for nature, all at a single pace.
What to expect
Nothing complicated.
All it takes is a life jacket, a paddle and the urge to slow down to a different rhythm.
A privileged view
The Island of San Giulio and hidden shores seen from the middle of the lake, far from the beaten track.
For every level
Canoes, single or double kayaks, SUP. Even if it's your first time — briefing included.
The lake's silence
No engines, no crowds. Just the slow rhythm of the water and the oars.
5 minutes from the campsite
The rental is on the lakefront of Orta San Giulio, a short walk from BellaVista.
