Luino & Lago Maggiore Weekend

Luino, Lago Maggiore, Italia! Spoken in Italian it sounds wonderful. What a truly gorgeous place. Travellers have been drawn here for centuries, attracted by the mild and sunny climate as well as the stunning scenery and of course superb food and wine. Lago Maggiore is an absolutely perfect destination for a short rowing holiday.

Luino sits on eastern shore of Lago Maggiore in Lombardy, northern Italy. With high hills on one side and crystal blue waters on the other, Luino is perfectly poised for rowing excursions to the south, north and west, and then some. The scenery from the boat is glorious. Charming villages with pastel coloured buildings and stone churches climb up the steep hillsides. Castles sprout from islands. Tiny chapels dot the hillside among olive groves and forests. The lake is long and narrow, offering views of snow-capped Alps in Switzerland to the north, and in other directions there are tantalizing curves that entice you to row just a little bit further.

Rowing The World’s Luino & Lago Maggiore Rowing Weekend offers an excellent balance between adventure and relaxation. Three guided rowing excursions offer lots of activity. We will make sure that you can enjoy some unstructured time to stroll the streets and waterfront promenade, sip an espresso or aperitif in a café or maybe in-dulge in a little shopping. La vita è bella.
