More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A late-afternoon sun slants across a narrow lane as you crest a low hill and Lake Como opens in three blue arms below. The table is set on an agriturismo terrace: handcrafted plates, a spread of cheeses and salumi, a steaming pot of polenta, and a carafe of house wine. Around you, fields ripple toward the water and the mountains hold the light.
