  • From Brunate to Monte Piatto Easy Trail Along the Mountain Side , East from Como
    1 From Brunate to Monte Piatto Easy trail along the mountain side , east from Como. From Torno it is possible to get back to Como by boat all year round. ITINERARY: Brunate - Monte Piatto - Torno WALKING TIME: 2hrs 30min ASCENT: almost none DESCENT: 400m DIFFICULTY: Easy. The path is mainly flat. The last section is a stepped mule track downhill, but the first section of the path is rather rugged. Not recommended in bad weather. TRAIL SIGNS: Signs to “Montepiatto” all along the trail CONNECTIONS: To Brunate Funicular from Como, Piazza De Gasperi every 30 minutes From Torno to Como boats and buses no. C30/31/32 ROUTE: From the lakeside road Lungo Lario Trieste in Como you can reach Brunate by funicular. The tram-like vehicle shuffles between the lake and the mountain village in 8 minutes. At the top station walk down the steps to turn right along via Roma. Here you can see lots of charming buildings dating back to the early 20th century, the golden era for Brunate’s tourism, like Villa Pirotta (Federico Frigerio, 1902) or the fountain called “Tre Fontane” with a Campari advertising bas-relief of the 30es. Turn left to follow via Nidrino, and pass by the Chalet Sonzogno (1902). Do not follow via Monte Rosa but instead walk down to the sportscentre. At the end of the football pitch follow the track on the right marked as “Strada Regia.” The trail slowly works its way down to the Monti di Blevio . Ignore the “Strada Regia” which leads to Capovico but continue straight along the flat path until you reach Monti di Sorto .

  • Il Lago Di Como Il Lago Di Como
    IlIl lagolago didi ComoComo percorsipercorsi sull’acquasull’acqua Storia e storie Itinerari Ritratti Notizie di viaggio Numeri utili Servizio per i residenti, meraviglia per i turisti Da sempre i laghi del nord del nostro Paese, costituiscono forte attrazione per il gradevole contesto ambientale e paesaggistico in cui sono inseriti. Il lago di Como, di manzoniana memoria, colpisce per la singolarità delle rive, “a fiordo”, e per il graduale incunearsi del bacino lacustre in zona montana, accompagnato nel suo percorso dalla “Regina”, l’antica strada che ne delinea la sponda occidentale. Il lago di Garda è adagiato in una conca attorniata da colline ricche di uliveti e limoneti che prosperano grazie alla mitezza del microclima gardesano contribuendo a fare del lago un polo di significativo interesse turistico. Il lago Maggiore conserva un’elegante atmosfera “fin de siècle”, enfatizzata dall’eleganza delle ville rivierasche e dalla particolare bellezza delle Isole Borromee. La forte urbanizzazione sviluppatasi nelle aree dei laghi ha originato un esponenziale aumento della domanda di servizi come quello, prioritario, del trasporto pubblico locale a seguito della congestione del traffico nelle arterie stradali limitrofe ai bacini lacustri. Da qui l’importanza, sempre più crescente, di trasporto alternativo come quello offerto dalla Navigazione Laghi, presente da più di un secolo come realtà aziendale prima privata e poi pubblica, i cui battelli collegano proficuamente le sponde dei nostri laghi. A seguito dello sviluppo registrato nel contesto socio-produttivo delle nostre zone, la Navigazione Laghi ha ritenuto utile la realizzazione di queste nuove guide che si propongono come ausilio per i residenti e i visitatori delle nostre belle regioni augurandosi che possano fornire un valido servizio per l’utenza.
