Maggiore, Lake

Lake largely in Italy, bounded on the west by Piedmont and on the east by Lombardy; its northern end is in the Swiss canton of Ticino. It is 63 km/39 mi long and up to 9 km/5.5 mi wide, with an area of 212 sq km/82 sq mi.

The River Ticino flows through it, and the Borromean Islands are in its southwest extension. The lake is enclosed on the north and west by high mountains, and on the south and east by vine-covered slopes. Tourist resorts on its shores include Arona, Stresa, Intra, and Pallanza in Italy, and Locarno in Switzerland.
