Laveno is the tourism capital of the eastern shore of Lake Maggiore and the municipal seat of the Municipality of Laveno Mombello. Its marina is quite important and has a ferry service connecting this little town with Intra on the Piedmont shore. Mount Sasso del Ferro rises above the town. It can be reached by cable car and is one of the most popular scenic viewpoints on Lake Maggiore, not only for tourists but also for hang-gliding and paragliding enthusiasts.

In terms of tourism, Laveno Mombello is one of the easiest destinations to reach on the lake and is well-connected with the smaller Lombard towns. The Ferrovie Nord railway - which arrives just a few metres from the lake and very close to the town centre - connects it with Varese and then Milan. The Ferrovie dello Stato national railway connects it with Switzerland. A ferry crosses the lake and reaches the Piedmont tourist destinations in a short time and the Autostrada dei Laghi (motorway) is easy to reach both from the Besozzo-Vergiate motorway at Sesto Calende and past the lake towards Gravellona Toce.

Lake Maggiore is 64.37 km (40 mi) long, and 3 to 5 km (2 to 3 mi) wide, except at the bay opening westward between Pallanza and Stresa, where it is 10 km (6 mi) wide. It is the longest Italian lake, although Lake Garda has a greater area. Its mean height above the sea level is 193 metres; a deep lake, its bottom is almost everywhere below sea-level: at its deepest, 179 metres below. Its form is very sinuous so that there are few points from which any considerable part of its surface can be seen at a single glance. If this lessens the effect of the apparent size, it increases the variety of its scenery. While the upper end is completely alpine in character, the middle region lies between hills of gentler form, and the lower end advances to the verge of the plain of Lombardy Lake Maggiore is the most westerly of the three great southern prealpine lakes, the others being Lake Como and Lake Garda. The lake basin has tectonic-glacial origins and its volume is 37 cubic kilometres (9 cu mi). The lake has a surface area of about 213 square kilometres (82 sq mi), a maximum length of 54 km (34 mi) (on a straight line) and, at its widest, is 12 km (7 mi). Its main tributaries are the Ticino, the Maggia, the Toce (by which it receives the outflow of Lake Orta) and the Tresa (which is the sole emissary of Lake Lugano). The rivers Verzasca, Gione, and Cannobbino also flow into the lake. Its outlet is the Ticino which, in turn, joins the river Po just south-east of Pavia.
