Your hotel on Lake Maggiore: perfect for exploring

Strictly speaking, only 19 percent of Lake Maggiore belongs to Switzerland, but we think: That 19 percent is simply incredible! The lake reaches in a long, winding line from the Ticino Alps right to the edge of Italy’s Po plain. The depth of the lake is impressive: Its deepest point is 372 metres, making it the deepest point in Switzerland (good to know for the next round of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”!). The Ticino river, after which the canton is named, is the main inflow and outflow of Lake Maggiore. Ascona, where your lakeside hotel on Lake Maggiore is located, is on the western side of the river delta.
