for
an aperitivo including some food. Vezio Castle has one of the most
amazing view of Lake Como. The cost will be 20 EUR per person which you
can pay directly there. A group of us will walk together from Villa
Monastero to Vezio (please note that the walk includes some steep
parts). There is the possibility to get there by car if you have your
own wheels. We need to reach a minimum number of 30 participants, so we
hope that you will join us! We can assure you that the hike is totally
worth it.
Wednesday
On Wednesday afternoon, we are planning to
have a private boat transfer at 2pm to Colonno on the other side of the Lake
Como, and then walk on the “Greenway” from Colonno to Lenno.
In Lenno, we will have another private boat transfer to Varenna at 6pm. Dinner will be in Varenna (see below).
The
path from Colonno to Lenno is the first half of the full “Lake Como
Greenway”. It is about 5km long along an ancient and very panoramic
route going through small villages, olive groves with fantastic views of
the lake. The path is mostly flat with some occasional steep but short
parts. You can find more information on the “Greenway” here:https://greenwaylagodicomo.com/en/trails/greenway-lake-como/
On the way to Colonno, we are also planning to stop briefly on the Isola Comacina: https://isola-comacina.it/en/
The
cost of the boat transfers is 30 EUR to be paid CASH at the
registration.
