Punta Spartivento
Observation deck
👍👍 Worth visiting to see a beautiful scenery, as you may have seen that its right at the intersection of the 2 branches of the lake!
It's better to get here by foot, the roads ~500mt are too narrow and also have tourists walking around. Parking is a bit tough to find on the streets due to the crowd bu...

Sorgente del Fiumelatte
Park
👍👍 While you can see the Fiumelatte down by the road, and under the bridge, making the hike up to the source is well worth your time if the water is flowing. Beautiful water fall, cool air and water spray, picnic tables, absolutely refreshing. The walk, while steep at times, is very pretty. You'll be g...

Monte Crocione
Vista point
👍👍 As others have posted, many reviews do not capture the hike from Tremezzo. Beginning in Tremezzo, it is roughly a 30 minute walk up a bike path to the start of the trail. This walk is uphill in a cobblestone path.
The entire hike from the beginning is quite steep, hiking poles would be tremendously...

Spiaggia Santa Maria Rezzonico
Public beach
😐 Entrance to this small beach is hard enough to find. On the beach there were a lot glass shards - most of them were turned by water but some were sharp so using a special water shoes is highly recommended. At the same time you can find unbelievable view and perfect clean water here.

👍👍 Beautiful small island. There's a restaurant a place to moor the boats and a path to explore the island walking. Located near a beautiful shore on the western branch of Como Lake.
