Â 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.
Schedule for the day
This third stage runs between Varenna and Bellano, offering glimpses of the most enchanting part of Lake Como, the center of the lake.
