Upper Lake Como, stretching between the northern shores and mountain valleys, is considered one of the most beautiful destinations in northern Italy. Here, the blue waters meet the towering peaks in a breathtaking scene that reflects nature in its simplest and most exquisite form. This part of the lake is an ideal choice for those seeking a sustainable holiday, away from the crowds of conventional tourism, offering a unique experience that combines relaxation with a deep connection to nature.
A Journey Embraced by Nature
In Upper Lake Como, small villages harmonize seamlessly with the landscape. Stone houses line the lake’s shores, framed by mountains that provide spectacular views from every angle. From the winding beaches of Domaso—loved by sailors—to the narrow alleys of Gravedona and Uniti, where history comes alive at every step, this part of the lake offers a cultural journey filled with memories.
You can enjoy a morning walk along the lake, where the golden rays of the sun reflect on the clear waters, or visit local cafés to savor the aroma of freshly brewed coffee while watching fishermen return from their daily trips.
Sporting Adventures in the Heart of Nature
Upper Lake Como is an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering both water sports and mountain hiking. The beaches of Domaso and Gera Lario provide perfect conditions for windsurfing, kayaking, and sailing, while swimming lovers can delight in the lake’s crystal-clear waters.
On the other hand, the mountain trails offer unforgettable panoramic views of the lake and its surrounding peaks, such as the trail leading to Mount Berlinghera, or the “Greenway dei Patriarchi,” which winds through olive groves and lush forests.
Sustainable and Peaceful Stays
The experience of Upper Lake Como would not be complete without accommodation that reflects the region’s sustainable and tranquil spirit. La Pòlera Suite Dépendance, located in the pedestrian village of Bregano in Montemezzo, is an ideal choice for travelers seeking a serene and enjoyable stay.
Just steps from the lake, this charming retreat offers a cozy and distinctive experience with stunning views of the water. It is fully equipped with modern comforts, from a small kitchen to a delightful garden.
Visitors can also discover local restaurants serving traditional Italian dishes prepared with minimal resource consumption, or set off on walks through chestnut forests, or enjoy water sports on the lake. Everywhere you turn, you’ll find a blend of traditional villages and rustic architecture that preserves its authentic character.
Nature’s Beauty Renewed Each Year
Upper Lake Como reveals its unique beauty in every season. In autumn, forests turn into a canvas of golden and red hues, while in winter, the mountain peaks are covered in snow, offering breathtaking views over the lake. With the change of seasons, each period brings a new experience, making this region a destination worth revisiting time and again.
