2 Days Trekking - Il Sentiero del Viandante: from Varenna to Colico

Overview

Day by day itinerary

1. 1From Varenna to Dervio⌄

   Visit of Castello di Vezio, a Medieval Castle with a breathtaking view on the lake: a past of control and defense of the lake, a time when the famous Lombard Queen Teodolinda fell in love....

   Visit of Orrido di Bellano, where nature has created a suggestive natural canyon: we will cross the gorge walking on suspended walkways fixed to the rock wall, above the rushing flow of the Pioverna river. From Bellano to Dervio passing by the Sanctuary of Lezzeno and from Pendaglio, through woods,  gardens, paths on the living rock marked by the centuries-old passage of the sledges, through shady valleys and unmissable views over the lake.

2. 2From Dervio to Colico⌄

   Visit of Torre di Orezia and Castello in Dervio, where time seems to have stopped in its medieval image. From here to Corenno and Dorio, with the ancient parish church of San Giorgio. From there to Mondonico, the primitive inhabited nucleus of Dorio, uphill in the chestnut wood towards the chapel of S. Rocco, with a magnificent viewpoint on Lake Como in a path of great beauty: the old mule track carved into the rock, the broom , the Erica and the many shrubs of this beautiful side. Perdonasco, Sparese and Posallo, in a succession of small beautiful rural villages.
