LAKE COMO

The best trails and hikes around Lake Como, to admire its colors from above and walk along the grassy ridges of the Lariani Mountains.

The last rays of the sunset bid farewell to the little church of Sant'Amate, reachable in just over an hour's walk from the Breglia Mountains.

Lake Como, for better or for worse, enjoys international renown — not necessarily for its mountains, but rather for its opulent villas, for Bellagio, George Clooney, Star Wars, and a dozen other films shot in various locations around the lake.

The hikes in this section traverse the ridges of the peaks that surround Lake Como, offering incredible views of the iconic and renowned lake. Given the panoramic nature of these routes, it's best to dedicate clear and crisp days to them.
