Lake District
![]() In far northern Italy on the fringes of Switzerland, Italy's magnificent Lake District is spectacular mountain scenery at its best, and the breathtaking beauty of this area is a magnet for tourists throughout the year. ![]()
These cold mountain lakes were formed by retreating glaciers, and the largest include Lakes Como, Garda, Lugano and Maggiore; Lake Garda, 75 miles to the east, is not shown due to space restrictions.
![]()
The lakes are fronted by varied ranges of the Alps, and dozens of colorful small towns dot the shorelines. A dependable ferry service shuffles passsengers from town to town, and the local roads are first-rate, so driving along the lakes in most areas is easy and safe.
