the Lake Como

Welcome to Lake Como one of the most beautiful areas in Lombardy. This pre-alpine lake surrounded by a crown of mountains with peaks up to 2700 m high, is not only spectacular but rich in history and tradition. The lake is perfect for active as well as relaxing holidays. Splendid 17th century villas with their lovely gardens, antique Romanesque churches, old connection trails, mountain tops with a superb view of the lake, and lots of sport facilities await you.

Lake Como is situated 45 km north of Milan close to the Swiss border. It is 46 km long and has the form of an upside down Y dividing itself into two branches at the town Bellagio with the town Como at the tip of the southwestern branch and the town Lecco at the tip of the southeastern branch. Its crystal clear waters are up to 400 deep, making it one of the deepest lakes in Europe.

To admire the beauty of Lake Como, its landscapes, its banks dominated by lush vegetation, luxurious mansions and small towns of rare beauty where tourism, history, art and nature blend harmoniously, the ideal solution is to do it directly from its waters.
Thanks to an efficient navigation service that connects all the places tourists can move freely between ships, ferries or ships. There are also many proposals for lake cruises. We suggest buying your tickets to freedom of movement, allowing you to travel on boats and ferries giving you the chance to visit several countries on the same ticket as for example the ticket center, which includes Lake Menaggio, Varenna, Bellagio, Cadenabbia, Tremezzo and Lenno .
The tourist who wants to move but in absolute independence and freedom may decide to rent a boat in one of several private motorboat rental centers distributed throughout the lake.

Lake Como offers a wide range of hiking and trekking, from easy to more difficult for families to mountain lovers. Walk along the trails that we present allows us to discover the ancient paths, walkways and old while to admire unique landscapes for the beauty of the area.

From the mountains to the lake until you get in Brianza, you can choose the itinerary that best suits the needs of everyone.
