Places suspended between land and water

Lombardy’s landscapes unfurl before you in a smooth balance ofvalleys, rolling hills and imposing mountains, shaped by the passage of streams, rivers, and lakes adding to their stunning effect.

 

A natural mosaic, bursting with a range of different colours that show us the identity of a region that offers so much to explore. From river beaches to rock spurs suspended over the water, and from panoramic balconies immersed in the green to the traditional old villages caressed by waterfalls, every location is an invitation to slow down and enjoy the wonder. If you love to go on walks where you can contemplate the natural beauty, then these six destinations suspended between land and water are an ideal way to see Lombardy from a different perspective. It might be a regenerating walk, a hiking trip, or simply a moment of peace and quiet: every experience can become an authentic opportunity to connect with nature and the area.
