Lake Como (Bellano) is only 12 km from the Bed & Breakfast. Here are some of the destinations that are easily reached from Bellano.
In the hamlet of Oro which is just above Bellano there is a stretch of the Sentiero del Viandante (the Wayfarer's Way). This is the ancient mule track running north from S. Martino (Abbadia Lariana) for 35 km along the mountainside overlooking Lake Como. The mule track finishes in Colico in the vicinity of the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Pozzo (the Madonna of the well).
In Bellano, you can also visit the Orrido, a natural gorge carved out by the Pioverna torrent whose waters have modelled gigantic potholes and evocative caverns. You can catch sight of characters, who recall those from Andrea Vitali's books, walking along the alleyways and small piazzas of the medieval buildings and if you peep into the courtyards and entrances of the medieval houses, you can hear old women gossiping.
