About this activity

Discover the magic of Bellagio, the “Pearl of Lake Como,” on a scenic 8 km hike through peaceful woods, olive groves, and charming historic villages. This easy yet rewarding route offers stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains at every turn.

We’ll wander through Bellagio’s picturesque alleys and elegant boutiques before continuing to Pescallo and Aureggio, passing lush gardens and noble villas. Our path leads to the colorful village of San Giovanni, then gently climbs into enchanting woods where nature embraces us.

We’ll stop at a panoramic restaurant to enjoy a delicious Italian lunch with local wine — the perfect moment to relax and share stories with fellow travelers. The hike ends at the magnificent Villa Melzi Gardens, one of Bellagio’s most iconic landmarks.
