A great trek in the hills above Torno
After a beautiful ferry ride our adventure began in the sleepy village of Toronto (just up the lake from Como). Our guide, Ale was fantastic.... not only a experienced hiking guide but also so knowledgeable as to the history of Toronto and the area. And so we hiked, up and up and up and up above Toronto. The lush forest and views ..... incredible. Our path was a centuries old donkey trail that was the main inland link between the villages along the shore. The seemingly "never ending" climb paid off with a lunch at a great restaurant! All of the food fresh and local........ the best. What a great experience. Thanks Ale

Fantastic Hike!
This hike is beautiful as well as rigorous (use your hiking sticks!). We hiked among the deciduous trees and wildflowers with our outstanding guide, Favia. She knows the routes very well and shared with us the history, lifestyle, and environment of Como along the way. Our special treat was eating at Piazzaga restaurant overlooking Torno with our hosts, Daniella and Rafeal. The luncheon was homemade and delicious. We traveled home by boat - a perfect day!

A beautiful hike with a wonderful guide
Our guide for the day was Michale and he was amazing! The trail was stunning and not too difficult although you need to be careful in a few places. Beginning hikers would be more than comfortable on this, just be sure to wear sturdy tennis shoes at a minimum.

Not to be missed!
Personally, I love hiking in the forest & mountains. The scenery is beautiful & serene. The trail is pretty well marked, but I would not have wanted to do it the first time without a guide. Plus, we wouldn’t have found the amazing crotto for lunch on our own! Highly recommend, but not for people with any kind of mobility issues as the hike was over 10km & at times challenging to maneuver over the rocks and waterfalls due to recent rainfall.

Wonderful hike, great guide, and special lunch
We loved our guide Daniele from the start - knowledgable with a great sense of humor. Up the funicular to Brunate, then a moderately challenging hike (a little off camber and some storm washout) along the old roman paths, stopping for an amazing lunch in Piazzaga. We descended from lunch to the charming village of Torno where we picked up a boat back to Como.

GREAT hike!! 10/10!!
This day was definitely the best one we spent in the area. We wanted to feel the nature, be out of the crowds and visit some true local places. Too many desires? Oh no, we got everything and even more: a tasty lunch (I will never forget that goat cheese!) and a passionate guide like Fabia who is never tired of answering questions. 100% recommended!!
