If you're craving some outdoor fun, make a day trip to Monte Mottarone. No walk around the block, this hike is great for some mid-vacation exercise.
This steep landmass is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Verbania. But Monte Mottarone isn't the only drawcard in the area. Villa Taranto Botanical Garden, Isola Bella Botanical Garden, and Borromeo Plaza are some other worthwhile attractions nearby.
