We're happy to pass along this info regarding boat passes on Lake Maggiore.

Cornelia wrote: I called the Navigazione Lago Maggiore office and they told me that there is a pass valid for seven days which can be used on the whole lake (Switzerland and Italy). The price is Sfr 74.-- per person. If the Ziners would like to take the fast boat (Aliscafo) there is a surcharge of Sfr 6.-- per ride and person. For this boat they need to make a seat reservation.

If they are planning to go to Cannobio (market on Sunday) or Luino (market on Wednesday) I even suggest to make reservations a couple of days in advance. Usually it's very well booked.
