Description
The section of the Sentiero del Viandante (Wayfarer's Path) from Lierna to Varenna (high variant) is one of the most evocative walks on Lake Como.
A panoramic trek in Lombardy that combines chestnut woods, ancient mule tracks and sudden glimpses of the deep blue of the lake.
It starts from the silence of the alleys of Lierna, leaving the lakeside behind to gradually climb along a path that alternates between shade and light. The route is varied and harmonious: stretches in the woods, small rural villages, stone walls and views that suddenly open up like windows on beauty.
Walking here means entering a slow rhythm. The scent of the woods, the rustling of leaves, the lake that appears between the branches. Every bend is a surprise.
The descent towards Vezio offers one of the most iconic views of Lake Como: Varenna appears from above like a small jewel nestled on the water, with its colorful roofs and boats dotting the blue.
An engaging route, perfect for those who want a panoramic excursion on Lake Como without excessive technical difficulties, but with a continuous and powerful visual impact.
A walk to be experienced step by step, with that light spirit that the Guidders love so much.

🌿 I'm a certified hiking guide with a passion for nature, trails, and well-being. I lead groups on journeys of discovery through the landscape, offering mindful hikes where a slower pace allows for listening, presence, and connection. I organize holistic experiences that combine hiking with outdoor yoga practices, yoga trekking weekends, moments of poetry amidst the scenery, and sensory experiences like local product tastings. My passion for art and photography guides my eye: every outing is an opportunity to capture details, light, and atmospheres that tell the profound story of the relationship between people and nature. I believe in deep, accessible, and restorative hiking that connects body, mind, and landscape. Every experience I offer is an invitation to slow down, observe, feel… and rediscover yourself.
