Lake Maggiore (or Verbano) is at a height of 193 m and covers an area of 212 square km. Its western shore is in Piedmont, its eastern shore in Lombardy, and in the north it enters the Swiss canton of Ticino.
Lake Maggiore is the most westerly of the three great prealpine lakes of Italy. It extends for about 70 km between Locarno and Arona. Lake Maggiore is 68 km long, with a breadth which varies from 3 to 5 km, except at the bay opening westward between Pallanza and Stresa, where this reaches 10 km.
