Full description
Fasten your seatbelts and get ready to discover the most authentic corners of Lake Orta!
Aboard a 4x4 driven by a guide, you’ll leave the tarmac behind as you climb the slopes of the picturesque Monte Barro, navigating adventurous fords and dense woods inhabited by roe deer. And as well as enjoying stunning views, you’ll be treated to a delicious aperitif featuring local specialities.
A 2-hour experience filled with relaxation, adventure and the authentic flavours of the region!
What we will do
We’ll meet 30 minutes before the time stated at the meeting point in Pettenasco (NO). The guide who will be accompanying us on our excursion will be waiting for us there. We’ll start with an introductory overview of the Lake Orta area and take a look at the route map to discover together all the stops we’ll be making as we travel in the off-road vehicle.
We’ll then climb aboard the jeep and set off on our adventure: after a short initial stretch on tarmac,80 per cent of the route will be on dirt tracks. During the journey, the guide will share fascinating anecdotes about the surrounding natural landscape and the history of the area. We’ll also make a few stops to spot local wildlife.
Our ascent of Monte Barro will continue as we cross a few fords, until we reach the panoramic summit crowned by a cross. From up here, we’ll enjoy a spectacular 360-degree view of Lake Orta. We’ll then settle down at the outdoor tables for a break of about 20 minutes, during which we’ll enjoy a delicious aperitif ( included) with local cold cuts and cheeses, and a glass of Prosecco (or a non-alcoholic alternative) .
Once we’ve recharged our batteries, we’ll get back into the jeep to take a new route that will lead us to other vantage points overlooking the Mottarone valley. Between photo stops, the guide will show us the historical features preserved in the valley, including bridges and ancient wash houses.
Once the excursion is over, we’ll finally return to the starting point. The activity will last a total of 2 hours.
