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.
