Beautiful but long walk (about 15 Km) with extraordinary landscapes on Lake Como, between historical and geological treasures.

Then you reach characteristic villages, you meet the Sasso del Lupo and the Pietra Pendula. Then you start the descent towards Torno (about 500 meters in altitude) crossing the famous Sentiero degli Avelli. A Torno waiting for us the ferry that takes us back to Como.
