From Brunate to Torno
From Como, we take the funicular to Brunate; once we exit the station, we follow Via Roma and, after a short walk, turn left onto Via Nidirino.
Discovering the Pietra Pendula
A loop hike that starts in Torno and leads to the mountain hamlets of Piazzaga and Montepiatto, taking in the Trovanti, the Massi Avelli, and the Pietra Pendula.
Como, the town that gives its name to the entire lake; upon arriving by train at Como Lago Station, you can admire all the city’s wonders while strolling comfortably on foot. We recommend a visit to Brunate and the Volta Temple.
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.
The village of Torno is nestled on a hill overlooking the upper reaches of Lake Como; in the area, traces of pre-Roman settlements have been found, as evidenced by the Massi Avelli (Burial Stones) discovered in the woods near Piazzaga.
