Pettenasco is a pretty village on the shores of Lake Orta, known for its peaceful atmosphere and the natural beauty of the landscape. One of the village’s main attractions is the lakeside promenade, which offers a picturesque and scenic route along the crystal-clear waters of the lake. This promenade is ideal for relaxing, jogging or simply enjoying the view.

Along the promenade, there are several access points to the lake where swimming is possible. These access points feature small jetties, grassy beaches and bathing areas, making Pettenasco an ideal destination for those seeking direct contact with nature.

A favourite with residents and tourists alike is the Bar Dolphin, located right on the lakefront: next to the bar is access to the public beach.

Paid parking in the vicinity of the bar – anywhere with the blue stripes.
