The first few kilometres of the 'legs' at the southern end of the lake are relatively flat, but Lake Como becomes more mountainous as you head northwards into the Alps. The area around Lake Como, or "Lago di Como" in Italian, is wonderfully picturesque. Its physical distinctiveness, alongside the natural beauty of the lake has long been appreciated, ever since the Roman times in 196BC. The lake has witnessed many dramatic pasts which today impresses visitors from all around the world and leaves forever a lasting impression of romance, vitality and beauty. It is this essence which today draws many holiday makers, film directors and celebrities to a very special place.

  • LAKE COMO ITINERARY March 19-21
    LAKE COMO ITINERARY March 19-21 This weekend to Lake Como is easily one of the best weekends I’ve done from Paris, combining cute Italian villages, Italian food, some rest and tranquility and one of the best hikes I have ever done. It’s also easily doable in 48 hours. We rented a car for about €54, as we got a deal when booking at the same time as our flight, and the whole trip only cost us €35 in gas. But it is possible to take a bus or train to Como, then local buses or ferries around the lake (just watch out for limited Sunday and holiday schedules!) Mid-March was a great time to go, as it was warm enough but not too hot for hiking, flowers were starting to pop up, but there was still a majestic coating of snow on the mountain tops. The whole trip, including the flight, car, gas, tolls, ferries and hotels (exclusive of meals—which are much cheaper in Lake Como than in Paris—and transportation to the airport in Paris) cost us €250.55 per person (with two people sharing one hotel room). Date To Flight/Hotel/Car Details Cost Comments Sat, March 19 Milan Easyjet flight 2782 8:30-10:00am €143 each There were two of us sharing the car rental.

  • The Old Connection Roads Between Moltrasio and Laglio
    The old connection roads 2 between Moltrasio and Laglio Easy walk along old footpaths and stairways of the western side of the lake from the boat dock in Moltrasio to Laglio . ITINERARY: Moltrasio - Carate Urio - Laglio WALKING TIME ONE WAY: 1hr 30min ASCENT: 120 m DIFFICULTY: Easy TRAIL SIGNS: Absent CONNECTIONS: - by boat: from Como to Moltrasio every 30 min - by bus: bus C 10 or C 20, “via lago” bus stop Moltrasio Pontile Return from Laglio bus C10/20 ROUTE: from the boat pier at Moltrasio turn left along the main road and pass by the monument to Vincenzo Bellini, the Sicilian composer who lived here for a long time. Turn right up via Raschi to reach the centre of the village. This stairway is known as “the Scala Sancta” because it was used for holy processions and maybe also because it seems so long and steep. But it is not that tiring if you go up slowly and take your time to enjoy the views it gives of the village below and, on the other side of the lake, Torno, the manneristic villa Pliniana and the mountains Boletto and Bolettone. At the parish church follow via Curiè, piazza Umberto I and via Bianchi along the right bank of the stream and head up the valley by passing under the viaduct of the main road. As you reach Villa Memy bear right to reach Tosnacco , the highest suburb of Moltrasio (312 m). Cross the asphalted road and continue uphill following the way marks of the mountain trails. At a junction near the fountains, continue straight on via Marconi until you reach a T-junction with a stairway.

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.

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.

  • 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.
