The Olgiasca peninsula is a very suggestive place, located on Lake Como. With breathtaking 360° views of the surrounding Alps and Pre-Alps, this peninsula is a little treasure to explore. Here is the Piona Abbey, one of the most interesting religious places on Lake Como. A ring excursion of the Olgiasca Peninsula allows you to visit the Abbey complex and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. The excursion does not present any difficulties and is accessible to all.
