Who said the northern branch of Lake Como isn’t as beautiful as the Como branch?

We believe that the northern branch, the longest, widest and wildest, is an undiscovered gem!

Do you want to enjoy a boat tour immersed in nature, surrounded by total peace and tranquility, without the heavy boat traffic and waves found in the more crowded areas of the lake? Then this is the perfect tour for you!

The northern branch of the lake is nestled between high Alpine peaks, wider than the other two branches, much quieter, less urbanized, and lined with wild Mediterranean flora along its shores.

We will depart from the central area of the lake, allowing you to admire Varenna, Bellagio, Tremezzo, and Menaggio with their stunning villas. Then, we will head north to the villages of Bellano and Dervio.

North of Dervio lies the beautiful village of Corenno Plinio, home to a medieval castle, a true hidden gem. You will then see, from the lake, the Abbey of Piona, where monks still produce a delicious liqueur. Just beyond the abbey is a bay known as “Laghetto di Piona“, a natural oasis where we can stop and relax.

On the opposite shore, which we will follow as we head back south, you will see the villages of Domaso, Gravedona, where the Renaissance Palazzo Gallio stands dramatically over the lake, and Dongo.

As with our other tours, if you wish, you can disembark in one of the villages to explore or take a break at your leisure.
