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 remains of medieval buildings, small mountain churches, and terraces with vineyards and olive trees. Well-deserved stops will allow us to contemplate and photograph these breathtaking landscapes.

Program of the day

From the meeting point we begin the ascent to the picturesque hamlet of Genico and higher and higher along a climb that does not allow many breaths. The effort will be rewarded by the view of Lake Como reached the Mezzedo huts, and even more at the top, near the beautiful Church of San Pietro (992m); many other beautiful views will open along the descent to Vezio.
