How to reach the lake
As anticipated the town of the ceremony (Orta San Giulio) and the town of the reception (Pettenasco) are just 5 km each other.
Orta San Giulio is av. 135 km from Turin, 70 km from Milan, 42 km form Malpensa airport and 1032 km from Torre Orsaia (Giovanna home town!)
We provide you some info how to reach the location:
BY CAR: due to the very poor public transportation it is suggestible to rent a car.
Just drive motorway A8 then take motorway A26 direction Gravellona Toce, take Arona Exit then follow the rirection for Gozzano/Lago D'Orta/Omegna
BY TRAIN: the rail station "Orta - Miasino" is located over the opposite hill of Orta San Giulio av 3 km from Orta San Giulio e 7km from Pettenasco.
If you arrive from Milan you have to take two trains (at least 1.40 min)
1st Train Milano - Novara (40 min)
2° Train Novara - "Orta - Miasino", direction Domodossola (1h).
At the station you should find local bus direction to the town of Orta San Giulio.
