This guidebook describes 28 day walks and a five-day trek around
Lakes Como and Maggiore in Northern Italy. The day routes range
from 3 to 20km in length are graded 1 to 3. The mini trek up the
eastern shore of Lago di Como from Lecco to Colicocan can also be
cut into one-day stages if desired. There is something for
everyone, from easy leisurely strolls for first-time walkers to
strenuous climbs up panoramic peaks. The clear maps, inspirational
photographs and information about accommodation and public
transport options help to make this guidebook an ideal companion to
exploring the exceptional scenery, views and culture of the Italian
Lakes. A basic English-Italian glossary is also included.
Picturesque Lago Maggiore has been working its magic on writers and
visitors for centuries. Blessed with a mild climate and delightful
position close to the Alps, it attracts flocks of admirers to its
shores and islands adorned with sumptuous villas and gorgeous
ornamental gardens, a legacy of the late Renaissance. Ever
magnificent, the splendours of Lago di Como were broadcast by the
likes of Pliny and Strabone back in ancient Roman times. Overseas
visitors are attracted by the breathtaking scenery and romantic
atmosphere, augmented by the host of villas and superb gardens,
where pretty camellias and rhododendrons spill over terraces.
