Great experience, really!
Great experience, really! The tour started with the funicular from Como to Brunate, which is already worth it. Once we arrived up, with Ivan we went towards the Brunate Lighthouse and the view of the lake was spectacular. After that we took a walk in the woods, very simple and pleasant, nothing tiring, suitable for everyone. The views along the way and once you get to the top are stunning. The pace was quiet, you enjoyed the day without haste. Highly recommended experience for those who want to spend a nice day in nature near Como!

Fantastic trekking above Como!
The tour was wonderful! We started from Como with the historic funicular, and this was already an interesting highlight, to climb to Brunate. From there we started with Ivan first seeing the Brunate Lighthouse, from where the view of the Lake was wonderful. Then we continued with an easy and pleasant trek on a mountain path in the woods, until we reached the tops of mountains very scenic, but affordable for everyone! The pace was quiet and suitable for everyone, so I highly recommend it to those who want to take a pleasant hike in nature just outside Como. On the way back we stopped for lunch at a shelter where we could eat some 'good local food. Thanks again for this wonderful experience!
