Hiking in Como: an adventure between nature and culture

Hello adventurer! If you're looking for exciting hikes to do in Como, you've come to the right place. This wonderful city on the shores of Lake Como offers a wide range of hiking trails suitable for both beginners and experts.

The best hiking trails

One of the most popular routes is the walk along Como's lakeside promenade, which gives you beautiful views of the lake and the city's elegant architecture. If you love nature, be sure to explore the trails of Spina Verde Regional Park, a green oasis perfect for rejuvenating walks.

For fans of more challenging hiking, I recommend the Prehistoric Expressions Trail: a breathtaking route that will take you to discover the rock carvings found in the area.

Walks around Como

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in the beauty of the surrounding nature, there are numerous options nearby. One of the locals' favorite destinations is Brunate: from here you can enjoy spectacular views of the entire Lario after walking one of the many scenic trails.

Another must-see destination is Monte San Primo, with its enchanted forests and flower-filled meadows. It is ideal for those who enjoy walking immersed in the tranquility of the mountains.

Cozy refuges along the trails

During your hikes in Como you will have the opportunity to encounter several refuges where you can enjoy typical local dishes or simply rest before resuming your walk. Some also offer overnight accommodations if you wish to extend your adventure beyond sunset.

    Хороший маршрут. На пути встретился завал, его можно обойти поверху. Обратно можно сесть на фуникулер по кнопке.

    Parcours exigeant et très difficile pour marcheurs expérimentés. Attention le chemin est très peu balisé. Mise à part les refuges, il n'y a aucune source d'eau. En été prévoir au moins 3.5L / pers. Sur la deuxième partie du parcours possibilité de dévier du tracé proposé qui suit la route sur une bonne partie de la distance.

    Gemütlich 6-7h - mit vielen ausgedehnten Pausen - unterwegs. Zunächst von Como mit der Seilbahn hoch nach Brunate. Dort im Bellavista einen Cappuccino und die Aussucht genossen. Dann im schattigen Wald immer bergab bis Montepiatto. Dort fantastisch gespeist in der Trattoria Crotto - mit äußerst netten Gastgebern - Empfehlung! Nach dem Essen noch schnell Aufstieg zur Chiesa di Santa Elisabetta um dort die Aussicht und eine lange Mittagsruhe zu genießen. Schließlich dann steiler Abstieg „über 1.000 Treppen“ bis nach Torno. Ein perfekter Wandertag!

    Percorso immerso completamente nel bosco. In alcuni tratti la frana ha sradicato via gli alberi, ma ne vale la pena.

    Percorsa da Pian del Tivano a Como, tappa molto bella, ricca di punti panoramici e con sentieri ben tenuti. anche possibile passare per tutte le vette della dorsale ma il dislivello cumulativo aumenta.

    Leaving from Erba it’s a quite tough 2 hour climb to the top. Very enjoyable though. Highly recommended. Once you travel on the top it’s flattish and there are two restaurants which look good, before you start to descend towards Como.
