Are you ready for entertainment?
During the spring & summer season various cultural events are organized on Lake Maggiore (such as the International Jazz Festival in Stresa, the Film Festival in Locarno and the Jazz Festival in Ascona) and sports events, too, such as sailing races, rowing races in which all the rowing clubs of the lake resorts take part, swimming races and even a lake crossing swimming race. The so-called Nuotata dell'Eremo takes place in July and is particularly famous: it is not a competition, but on average about 500 swimmers usually participate in it (it is suggested to wear a wetsuit).
