Comer See

Lake Como is a scenic gem at the southern edge of the Alps. The region surrounding the lake ideally combines the cool beauty of the high mountains with the lightness and grace of the south. While the snow still shines on the mountains, magnolias bloom below in the mild warmth of spring, and azaleas release their fragrance. The Rother hiking guide "Lake Como" describes 50 beautiful hikes around the smallest of the northern Italian lakes.

The hiking area extends from the region directly around Lake Como to the Bergamasque Alps, into the lower Valtellina, up to the pristine mountain landscape of the Bregaglia, and into the Splügen Valley. In the hinterland of Lake Como, there is much to discover, from the unique flora to secluded valleys like the unspoiled Val di Mello, as well as picturesque little mountain villages, with Soglio being the most famous on its sun terrace.

The experienced mountain author Eugen E. Hüsler has compiled a diverse selection of tours with great expertise and love for the area. This includes easy, relaxing walks along the lake shore as well as alpine demanding tours in the high regions of the mountains. All routes in this hiking guide are precisely described and accompanied by map excerpts, informative elevation profiles, and appealing color photos.
