More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat slips away from Como’s stone quay and Lake Como opens like a long, cool throat—water pushing at the hull, mountains edging the horizon. In a private speedboat you skim past villas clinging to cliffs, waterfalls that dare the surface, and villages that crop up like postcards. The guide pours a glass of prosecco and the lake answers with scent of wet stone and gardenia.
