Transport and Tourism

Cernobbio is a stopping point on the bus and ferry services that link Como to Colico via the west side of Lake Como. It is the starting point for the long-distance footpath, La Via dei Monti Lariani .

Colico is a city in the province of Lecco, Lombardy, Italy. It is situated on the northern arm of Lake Como, where the river Adda enters the lake. Colico is the most important city in the northern part of Lake Como, which is often identified as its Colico branch.

La Via dei Monti Lariani is a long-distance footpath in the hills on the west side of Lake Como, in Lombardy, Italy. Its total length is approximately 125 km, and its average altitude is about 1000 m, compared with the approximately 200 m of the lake shore. The trail starts in Cernobbio, just north-west of the city of Como, and ends at Sorico, at the northern extreme of the lake. The trail is conventionally divided into four numbered sections, each with different waymarking, but these do not correspond to days of walking; Sections 1-3 would each involve at least two days' walking for a normally fit person, while the fourth section is itself divided into two sections each of which could well require more than a single day. The path runs through a mixture of forest and pasture land, frequently offering magnificent views over the lake.
