Lake Maggiore

We spent one night at Lake Maggiore on our way from Switzerland to Tuscany. The trip down through the Alps was stunning, with twisting mountain roads, pretty chalets, and beautiful views. A 10+ mile tunnel near the Italian border put an end to the scenery and spooked me.

Lake Maggiore is kind of a sister lake to Lake Como, where Merilyn and I went after Mont Blanc-same area, similar size, also surrounded by beautiful steep mountains. The next morning our host directed us to a hike on ancient trails high above the lake and town.
