Plenty of activities around Lake Como
On the shores of Lake Como, you’ll find many bustling villages, such as
Acqueseria and
Vercana, with a great choice of holiday homes. During the summer months, they make a great starting point for walks and hikes in the mountains, through the forests and along the rivers. Lake Como itself is famous for its many
water sports opportunities, and thanks to the wind – the ‘Breva’ – that blows from March to October, the lake is perfect for
sailing and
wind surfing. Spend a great day out in the fashion city of Milan. From Tirano, on the eastern side of the lake, the train takes you there within 90 minutes.
