Discover the scenic beauty and cultural richness of Lake Como on a delightful journey that combines a funicular ride, hiking, and a relaxing boat trip. Begin at the Como station where you’ll board the cable train and ascend to the hilltop village of Brunate, lovingly referred to as “the beautiful balcony of Como” for its panoramic views. As you travel upward, your knowledgeable guide will share intriguing insights into the history of Como, its iconic lake, and the majestic surrounding mountains. After soaking in the vistas, set off on a serene yet rewarding hike through lush woods and past fascinating geological formations like ancient stones and dramatic boulders. This path, cherished by locals and travelers alike, leads to a quaint village nestled within the hills. From there, traverse the picturesque mountains of Blevio, Sorto, and Cazzannoro, eventually arriving at Monte Piatto. Nearby, you’ll come across the Pietra Pendula, a striking natural wonder—an enormous rock balanced precariously on a smaller one. Take a break with a delightful picnic lunch featuring authentic local flavors and regional specialties. Continue your adventure to Piazzaga, a charming village where you’ll encounter the intriguing Massi Avelli, mysterious stone tombs with ancient origins. Finally, descend into the lakeside town of Torno, known for its postcard-worthy views, and conclude your experience with a peaceful boat ride back to Como, having seen Lake Como from above, within, and upon its waters.
