Lake Como Hiking Guide

<p>The area around Lake Como is a scenic gem on the southern edge of the Alps. It ideally combines the chilly beauty of the high mountains with the lightness and grace of the south. While the snow still glistens on the mountains, down below the magnolias are already in bloom in the mild spring warmth and the azaleas exude their fragrance. The Rother hiking guide "Lake Como" describes 50 wonderful hikes around the smallest of the northern Italian lakes.<br><br>The hiking area extends from the region directly around Lake Como to the Bergamo Alps, the lower Valtellina, up into the pristine mountain landscape of the Bergell and into the Spl&uuml;gental valley. There is much to discover in the hinterland of Lake Como, from the unique flora to remote valleys, such as the original Val di Mello, to picturesque little mountain villages, of which Soglio on its sun terrace is certainly the best known.</p>
