Lake Orta to La Morra - What to See Along the Way
We will be driving from Lake Orta to La Morra in May. Would love suggestions on places we might stop along the way? Its my husband and I who enjoy wandering, good food, museums, castles, palaces and scenery. Any recommendations for us? Thanks!

In between Lago di Orta and Turin is a cool palace, Reggia di Venaria Reale
Palazzina di caccia di Stupinigi is just outside Turin. It’s a gigantic Savoy palace that was designed as a Royal Hunting Lodge.
Basilica of Superga in Turin is up on a hill. Take the tour. It was spectacular.
In Turin, if you love film and music, then the Mole Antonelliana & Museo Nazionale del Cinema, a building that used to be a synagogue but now houses Italy’s National Film Museum. It’s a great time. Get headphones and enjoy. Has a cool elevator, but it was not in operation when we visited.
Palazzo Reale in Turin is also a real head turner.
We loved Turin, La Morra and all of Piemonte.

These and others are in my 2018 trip report.

thanks, Tom, I read your report. We’ll be in Turin later in this trip and hope to visit all the spots you mentioned either there or as day trips from LaMorra.
I think you drove from Turin to Lake Orta as I recall? We’ll be driving from Lake Orta to La Morra so was hoping to hear about towns or sites worth stopping at.

Lake Orta is in the North-East and La Morra is in the South-West of Piedmont. Almost the whole Regione Piemonte with tons of castles, museums, sanctuaries, small towns with medieval centers..... is in between.
May be you tell us how many weeks you plan in order to visit all that.
The whole area of Lake Orta - Lake Maggiore - Vastrona - Valsesia - Valle d'Anzasca ..... is excellent for hiking in May. There is no need to go somewhere else.
