A walk from Colonno to Cadenabbia along the shores of the lake, meeting romantic villages and beautiful historic villas and leaving behind the mountains to admire the enchantment of the lake.
A pleasant walk from Colonno to Cadenabbia to discover the lakefront of each town of Tremezzina.
This is a route that in some places coincides with the Greenway of Lake Como and in others deviates.
The starting point is Colonno, more precisely, arriving from Argegno, a few meters after the waterfall (visible along the highway Regina) you must turn into the first road that goes down from the highway to the lake. You arrive in this way on the lakefront that allows you to arrive first to the pebble beach of the village then to the municipal playground and finally to the parish Church of S. Michele Arcangelo.
From here proceed to the right of the church to join the cobblestone road that overlooks the lake and then cross the bridge.
The same road then joins the Regina state road. Just before the rest home follow the lakeside promenade that leads from Colonno to Sala Comacina.
This stretch has been recently built and allows a first view on Tremezzina and Comacina Island.
Once the road is finished, continue on the main road until the first street on the right in the village of Sala, which leads directly to the pier of Navigation.
Right from this point begins the discovery of the lakefront of Sala Comacina, with its sandy beach, and moving through the narrow streets you can reach the town square that enjoys a splendid view of the island.
Continue always following the road near the lake and moving more and more towards Ossuccio. In this way you arrive in the area of Zoca de L'Oli. Get on the main road and continue until you meet the Church of San Giacomo that overlooks a breathtaking view.
Then go up and rejoin the road Regina and then go down the second road to the lake that leads to Ospedaletto, a tourist resort perfect for bathing.
Go down towards the lake on the Ossuccio promenade, with its piers and various entrances to the lake. Another 200 meters and you are back on the main road. Here you will find the sign indicating the Greenway that you must follow for a short stretch.
On your right you can admire the beautiful Villa del Balbiano with its Italian garden and its historical charm. Go on crossing the bridge, then go down towards the lake and reach the mouth of the Perlana river. Awaiting you there is a characteristic square from which the route continues to join the Greenway.
Continuing you will find yourself in front of another villa: Villa Monastero, renowned today as a location for exclusive weddings.
Continue in the direction of Lavedo, passing through a small flat road located behind the Sigma supermarket in Lenno until you reach the lakefront of Lenno, which begins just near the entrance of Villa Balbianello and Lido di Lenno.
Continuing along the beautiful Gulf of Venus you will reach the Navigation of Lenno. Cross the small bridge until you reach the pebble beach of San Giorgio.
Go up towards the Queen, continue along the path to the right of the entrance of the Municipal Park of Mezzegra which leads to the square of the village that then joins the main road.
From here continue for a few meters on the state road until the first square on the right where a sidewalk begins. It is possible to stop for a few minutes to observe the beautiful Villa Sola Cabiati, and then make a brief visit to the Teresio Olivelli Park.
From the park continues a wide sidewalk that allows you to conclude the itinerary reaching Cadanebbia. Along the way there is a beautiful view of Bellagio, the lake, the tourist area of Tremezzo, the luxury hotels, Villa Carlotta, the Battello Bisbino renovated today in a bar-restaurant.
If you wish, the route can continue along the lake shore until you reach Menaggio, a village with a beautiful lakefront with a romantic and suggestive stretch.
Possibility of parking along Via Cappella in Colonno.
