1 2015 FISA TOUR PRESENTATION Updated to 10th July

2 LAKE MAGGIORE Lake Maggiore is one of the largest Italian lakes with an area of 220 square kilometers; 20% of the surface is located in Switzerland. It has a perimeter of about 200 km, a length of 65 km and an average width of about 4 km. A great deal has been said and written about Lake Maggiore. Stendhal himself, struck by that sort of lyrical rhapsody that occurs only in the sight of miracles of nature, said that here he had discovered the place that he would have preferred never to have left.
