Enchanting and romantic, Lake Iseo enjoys a unique landscape of wooded mountains and striking cliffs, hills and olive groves, which frame the beautiful Monte Isola, one of the “Borghi più belli d'Italia” and Eden Award 2010. Small villages line the lakeshore between Paratico and Pisogne. Iseo concentrates the sparkling social life between Piazza Garibaldi, the castle and its churches. The medieval Torre del Vescovo (Bishop's Tower) towers in Pisogne's square. At the mouth of the road leading into Val Palot stands the 15th-century Church of the Madonna della Neve, known for its marvelous cycle of frescoes by Romanino. Mount Guglielmo (1949 m. asl) and the Erosion Pyramids (a curious geologic phenomenon) of Zone are among the natural environments to be discovered, not before strolling among Marone's most fascinating corners.

To the south, the lake melts into a harmonious landscape ensemble: Franciacorta, a land of ancient traditions, villas, castles, monasteries and abbeys, vineyards and celebrated wineries where the famous Franciacorta DOCG is produced.

The food and wine uniting Franciacorta and Lake Iseo is a major attraction, combining fine wines with local products. Above all, the baked tench with polenta from Clusane, the beef with oil from Rovato, and the spit from Gussago. Franciacorta bubbles cannot be missed. Competing with the Franciacorta vineyards are the olive groves that make Marone an “oil town.” The production of grappa is prized.

Hospitality is widespread in hotels, campgrounds, farmhouses and B&Bs. Trattorias and restaurants are present in considerable numbers and of high quality.
