Hello Fellow Travelers,
I will be spending 5 nights in Lake Maggiore in September and would like to explore some of the lakeside villages/town.
I will not have a car and will rely solely on public transportation (ferries, buses & trains)
I plan to take the Lago Maggiore Express from Stresa to Locarno one day.
Here are my questions:
Once I arrive to Locarno (on the Centovalli railway), I read that I could spend time in Ascona
(instead of Locarno) before taking the ferry back to Stresa, is this
correct?Is it better to take the Lago Maggiore Express on a weekday instead of on the weekend?
If I buy the two day ticket, can I travel up & down the lake the following day? Including going to Cannobio & back?
If I want to attend the Sunday Mass at Santa Caterina del Sasso Church at 16:30, how will I get back to Stresa if the last ferry departs at 17:25?
If the answer to #3 is no, is there a roaming day ticket for the northern part of the lake that will allow me to visit several lakeside towns?
I may consider visiting Lake Orta as a day trip (via bus), if time permits, is it worth it?
Thanks everyone!
