Mount Pasquella Panoramic Ridge
A scenic trek along the ridges overlooking the village of Pigra. This trail offers constant lake views and, while not technically difficult, it requires a solid level of fitness due to its length.
The Botanical Trail to the Summit
A demanding ascent via the Botanical Trail to the summit of Mount Comana. Experience a diverse landscape ending in a breathtaking "balcony" view over Lake Como.
We highly recommend visiting the island during the Sagra dei Lumaghitt, which honors San Giovanni on June 24th. This historic festival features spectacular illuminations across Lake Como.
Experience the lake's magic with various themed cruises. In July and August, you can enjoy a unique experience aboard the historic steamship Concordia, which offers an exclusive on-board dining service.
A perfectly preserved medieval gem. With its stone houses built into the hillside, narrow winding alleys, and hidden underpasses, Brienno offers an authentic step back in time.
