Our view on the Italian lakes
The Italian lakes are great to visit any time of year. If you don't like crowds and queues then avoid the peak summer months and try a spring or early Autumn holiday. Or, if visiting very late on in the year around December, you could combine a visit to the lakes with a few days skiing in one of the nearby Italian ski resorts.
