Piona

Corenno Plinio Castle

Colico is the last town on the eastern coast of Lake Como, located north of Bellano and east of Sorico in an important tourist spot, for whoever wants to relax along the shores or walk in the mountains, or also for stop-over’s, who are directed to Chiavenna or the renowed alpine areas like Bormio or Saint Moritz.

Colico is surrounded by Monte Legnone, and it expands on two hills, called “colli di Montecchio” and borders on the biggest nature reserve of Lombardy: the Pian di Spagna.

Walk along the hills, in the old part, and on its lakefront, then go and visit the fortresses “Del Montecchio” and “Il Fuentes”. Then move down south, where you can find a peaceful little peninsula called Olgiasca. Here you can find some important religious buildings, as well as the important Villa Malpensata, dated back to 8th century. If you go even more south, just above Dervio, you can see the magnificent fortress: il Castello di Corenno Plinio.

In Colico it is possible to do many water sports, among all, sailing and windsurf, while you can relax on the beach on the quiet Piona’s Bay. The nearby Monte Legnone, with its 2609m of altitude will satisfy the excursionists with some of the most beautiful landscapes of the Orobic Alpes.
