Swiss Activity Tips
The Brissago Islands are divided into Isola Grande and Isola Piccola. The botanical garden on Isola Grande is definitely worth a visit. Here, besides Mediterranean plants, you will also find subtropical specimens. Thanks to the particularly mild climate of Lake Maggiore, different areas could be designed. They recreate vegetations from regions like the southeastern coasts of Australia, the Cape region of South Africa, or central Chile.

Great trip, but the very noisy boat, especially on the main deck, spoiled it. However, the boats were on time and efficient.
