Hiking & Trekking Tours & Trips in Italian Lakes District
The Lake Como hiking routes really deliver with daily walks ranging from 7-12 kilometers, taking you up to fantastic viewpoints above the water. Our travelers tell us they love how the routes balance challenging climbs with enough downtime to properly explore villages like Bellagio. There's a particularly good trail starting from Gravedona that weaves through old villages and chestnut forests. Over at Lake Garda, you can follow the historic Ponale Road Path, partly carved into cliffs during WWI. The northern end of Lake Garda offers some of the most impressive routes - you'll find yourself on paths between sheer cliffs and deep blue water, plus gentler trails through olive groves at lower levels.
