This is one of the most beautiful views from the Greenway. In addition to the Comacina Island, it is possible to admire the village of Sala Comacina from which the bell tower of the Church of San Bartolomeo stands out.

Hiking

The height of the hiking trail puts you at eye level with the bell tower, providing a great view of the bells as they ring. It might be worth waiting a bit to see the bells ring.

Embark on the Lake Como Greenway, a difficult hiking route that promises continuous panoramic views of Lake Como and the dramatic mountains surrounding it. This trail winds through charming ancient villages like Colonno and Ossuccio, offering you glimpses of local life and historic architecture. As you hike, you will pass picturesque olive groves and meadows, with notable sights such as the historic Church of Saints James and Philip in Ossuccio. The entire route spans 13.5 miles (21.7 km) and involves a significant elevation gain of 1762 feet (537 metres). Expect to spend around 6 hours and 17 minutes completing this challenging journey, immersing yourself in the stunning scenery and rich cultural tapestry of the region.

Planning your visit to the Lake Como Greenway is straightforward, as the route is well-maintained and clearly marked with blue signs and metal Greenway markers. You will find public transport, including the C10 bus and various ferry services, readily available in the towns along the route. This offers convenient options for starting and ending your hike, allowing you to tackle shorter sections if you prefer. The flexibility of transport also makes it easy to return to your starting point after completing your chosen segment of the trail.

The Lake Como Greenway traces parts of the ancient Via Regina, adding a layer of historical depth to your walk through this beautiful region. This connection to an old Roman road highlights the trail's significance beyond just its natural beauty. The route's design allows you to experience both the natural splendor of Lake Como and the rich heritage embedded in its lakeside communities. Consider exploring the unique character of each village you pass, as they each contribute to the trail's distinct charm.
