Abbadia Lariana – Sentiero del Viandante

We will walk along the “Viandante,” a scenic path used over the centuries to connect Milan to Switzerland.

The route offers splendid views of Lake Como, passing through picturesque villages, ancient courtyards and ruins, small mountain churches, terraces with vineyards and olive trees. Well-deserved stops will allow us to contemplate and photograph these breathtaking landscapes.
