Lake Iseo

Lake Iseo, like Lake Orta, is frequently disregarded since it is sandwiched between and overshadowed by the larger, more well-known lakes of Garda and Como. Iseo is surrounded by mountains and is known for its water sports, which include paragliding, kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, canoeing, and kayaking.

Modest lakeside communities offer tourist services and attractions, such as a 12th-century Romanesque church and a small castle near the village of Iseo. The sole island in the Alpine lake rises sharply in the Monte Isola's forested slopes, not far from the town of Sulzano. The Madonna della Ceriola shrine is located at the peak, over 600 meters above sea level. You arrive at the tiny island fishing community of Peschiera Maraglio via ferry from Sulzano.

Plans are in motion for a new installation named Your World, by modern artist Lorenzo Quinn, in Sulzano on the eastern side. In 2016, The Floating Piers exhibit allowed people to walk on the sea. The Earth will be supported by two huge hands that emerge from the water, and the five continents will be depicted in green to symbolize forests. It will feature floating walkways, just like the 2016 project.
