What to Do on Lake Maggiore in September Without Getting Wet: Canadian Canoeing

The lake doesn't close when summer ends

When summer comes to an end, Lake Maggiore changes pace. The crowds become smaller, the light changes and the first signs of autumn begin to appear. But the lake is still there, and there is no reason to stop enjoying it.

At Pollo Lake Experience, our excursions continue beyond the summer season. We choose activities, routes and times according to the season and the conditions, and Canadian canoeing is one of the best ways to experience the lake during this period.

Canoeing without getting wet

Canadian canoeing allows you to be on the water without having to get into the water. You do not need previous experience and, on our Canadian canoe excursions, you do not need to know how to swim. You can enjoy the experience without getting wet.

It is a simple way to experience the lake when swimming and beach days are no longer the point. You step into the canoe, paddle, take in the scenery and let the water carry you through the landscape.

That is also why Canadian canoeing is such an interesting option if you are looking for things to do on Lake Maggiore in September: you do not need to be particularly sporty, you do not have to get into the water and you can experience the landscape at a completely different pace.

Four ways to experience the lake

Our Canadian canoe excursions explore different parts of the area. Each route has its own character, but the idea remains the same: discover the lake from the water without treating it simply as a summer swimming destination.

Among the Borromean Islands

In the heart of Lake Maggiore, the Borromean Islands are one of the area's most iconic landscapes. Exploring them by canoe means approaching the islands at a slower pace, taking in the mountains, shorelines and surrounding scenery from a perspective that you simply cannot get from land.

Between Angera and Arona

Another of our canoe routes follows the stretch between Angera and Arona, one of the best-known areas of Lake Maggiore. From the water, distances and perspectives change completely: Angera Castle, the shoreline and the towns along the lake become part of one continuous landscape to explore by canoe.

Along the cliffs of Santa Caterina del Sasso

The cliffs of Santa Caterina del Sasso are among the most spectacular landscapes on Lake Maggiore. Seen from the water, the rocky cliff and the hermitage take on a completely different perspective. Canadian canoeing allows you to follow the shoreline at a relaxed pace and enjoy the scenery without having to get into the water.

On Lake Varese

Lake Varese is another of our destinations for Canadian canoeing. Here the experience changes again: the lake landscape, vegetation and different views of the shoreline accompany the journey. Some excursions also reach the area around Isolino Virginia, one of the most distinctive places on the lake.

Summer ends. Canoeing continues.

If you are looking for things to do on Lake Maggiore in September, you do not necessarily need to wait for a hot day or get into the water. You can simply choose to be on the water.

Canadian canoeing can continue beyond the summer season, always taking lake and weather conditions into account. It is an experience for anyone who wants to explore, observe, spend time in nature and share a few hours on the lake without getting wet.

Because the lake does not belong only to summer. And you do not need to get wet to experience it.
