Hiking at Lake Como

Northern Italy's lake district has been a popular holiday destination since Roman times and there are plenty of beautiful villas and gardens along the shores. Beyond the glamour, there is also a rich trail network where you can explore mountain peaks, forested valleys and traditional villages, each with its unique character. The old paths that cross the mountains on the western side of Lake Como have been transformed into well-marked trails with wonderful views over the landscape - perfect for the recreational hiker.
