Torno to Nesso
A long stretch of the Strada Regia, which passes through the hamlets of Pognana Lario and Faggeto Lario, enjoying breathtaking views and unique places.
The view from Mount of Palanzo
A magnificent scenic hike that starts in the village of Palanzo (Faggeto Lario) and leads to Mount Palanzone and Mount Preaola along easy trails.
Nesso offers numerous tourist attractions; we recommend the Orrido Waterfall, which can be seen from Piazza Castello and from the medieval Civera Bridge on the shore of 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.
Faggeto Lario is an excellent starting point for hikes and scenic walks in the Bolettone Mountains, Pizzo dell'Asino, and Palanzone. We recommend the two loop trails starting from Molina and Palanzo.
