Greenway – Lake Como’s Most Beautiful Walk (Spectacular Views!) – 4K 60fps
Let’s take a walking tour along the Greenway del Lago di Como, one of the most scenic trails on the western side of Lake Como, in northern Italy. We’ll walk through seven beautiful villages: Colonno, Sala Comacina, Ossuccio, Lenno, Mezzegra, Tremezzo, and Griante.
Lake Como is often known for its famous towns like Bellagio, Varenna, and Menaggio, but on this walk, we’ll explore quieter, lesser-known villages that may not get as much attention, yet offer just as much charm, if not more.
We’ll visit them from the inside, walking through their historic cores, narrow alleyways, and the everyday spots where local life happens, far from the crowds.
If you’re curious to see the more peaceful, authentic side of Lake Como, this is the perfect walk for you! 😉
