The experience

The gozzo, a traditional wooden fishing boat, leaves Lovere, one of the lake's most charming villages, and heads south along the shoreline. You'll pass the 800-year-old architecture of Lovere Museum from the water, then sail toward high cliffs that rise directly from the lake. The Orrido di Castro, a narrow gorge carved into the rock, opens onto a waterfall that flows straight down into the water. It's the kind of detail that makes the difference between a postcard view and being there.

The skipper navigates to the Bogn of Riva di Solto, a natural cove where the rocky walls drop steeply to meet the water. On board, you'll find comfortable seats and a large sun lounger. The boat is built for sitting and looking, not rushing. The tour runs about an hour and suits couples, families, solo travelers and small groups equally. Infants sit on an adult's lap, and the boat is accessible for all fitness levels. A local skipper handles the route and shares what the area holds. The experience is guided but unhurried.
