Lake Orta, place by place
Sixteen places between 67 and 96 minutes from Piazza del Duomo: the old town and the island, the opposite shore, the hills below the Mottarone and the two small towns at the ends of the lake. Each with its drive times, elevation, winter sun and the Italian Revenue Agency's quotations.
