Beautiful little village on the other side of the lake. Not so many toursist as in Bellaggio. Very romantic scenic village. There are boats from Menaggio several times a day. Our favourite restaurant in Varenna is "Al Prato".

Considered one of the most beautiful panoramic balconies in the region, Monte Berlinghera (1,930 m a.s.l.) is part of the Lepontine Alps on the western coast of Lake Como and Lake Mezzola, on the border between the Province of Como and the Province of Sondrio. The hike to the top is pleasant and not too difficult, and the view from the top will literally take your breath away.
