Where to stay

Pella and the surrounding areas offer a selection of intimate stays, ranging from traditional guesthouses and family-run bed and breakfasts to the popular campsites located directly on the lakefront, such as the facilities at Punta di Crabbia. Prices typically range from €80 to €150 per night depending on the proximity to the water and the level of service. For a more serene experience, many swimmers prefer the small-scale hospitality found in the village centers overlooking the basin. Find your accommodation here.

Things to do nearby

Beyond the water, the area is defined by its slow pace of life and rich heritage. You can explore the devotional path of the Sacro Monte di Orta, a UNESCO site, or take a short trip to visit the archaeological sites near Carcegna. The local culture is deeply tied to the lake, making kayak and SUP rentals a primary way to spend the afternoon following your race. Culinary traditions here emphasize local lake fish and regional Piedmontese wines, best enjoyed in the small trattorias scattered along the shore. Explore nearby activities here.
