Cool summer escapes

Between all its lakes and rivers, summer in Lombardy flows slowly, with enchanting landscapes to relax and cool off.

When the heat becomes intense, there is nothing better than letting water guide you.

Among alpine lakes nestled between the mountains, relaxing boat rides on lakes and rivers, and exploring pools of water surrounded by nature, these six destinations invite you to rediscover Lombardy’s landscape treasures.

The perfect chance to explore local sights from a unique perspective, by taking time to visit the towns by the water and explore natural trails and routes away from the most touristy locations. Because summer is the perfect time for relaxing and indulging in some well-being, with a weekend getaway or a day trip with friends.
