Lake Como Hiking: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

There are actually a number of mountains around the lake, so if you’re looking for a more strenuous climb then the Via dei Monti Lariani hiking trail is a good option. This is a long-distance route and stretches out for 125 km. If you’re looking for something shorter, consider a full day hike to Sant’Amate’s church. This hike takes you up a steep incline and gives you awesome views of the lake. The Sentee di Sort half-day hike offers more excellent views of the lake with less time hiking.

**Awesome Mountains **

There’s more than just a great lake here. There are mountains too! Check out the Bergamo Alps where you’ll find Monte Legnone. It’s the tallest mountain in the Lake Como area and fun to climb across 2 days.

Lombardy’s Interesting Culture and History

This region’s history and culture stretch way back, beyond Roman times. Check out the stunning medieval and gothic architecture, sip on some local wine and eat the traditional risotto.

**Escape the City **

Lake Como is full of nature and clear air. It’s the perfect antidote to busy city life. There aren’t as many crowds as you might think. Especially if travel in the shoulder seasons of late spring and early autumn.

The summers are hot with day time temperatures of 25- 30°C and the winters are cold with temperatures dropping to below freezing.
