The Lombardy / Lake Como Area
Lake como is 50 km long and one of the most beautiful of Europe. The climate is temperate although the tops of the mountains in winter turn white . Springtime starts in april and in summer the temperature reaches 25-30 degrees. The shores of lake Como alternate between picturesque villages leaning out on the water, they have grave-sandy, grass or rocky small beaches, pleasure harbous and large ares for watersports.
Lake Como's capital is Como-town which is worth a visit for its historical buildings ( Duomo), cosy shopping centre, trendy shops, especially for all kind of silk wear . 3 times a week is market day: get your italian fashion bargain!
Food: is Italy not the place for food? You prepare italian dishes at home, but the flavour once in Italy is so different and the smell of polenta, brasato, grilled meat and fish draw you to an inviting open terrace of a restaurant , pizzeria or trattoria near the lake shore .
Lugano, St. Moritz in the high alps, Lecco, Bergamo and even Venice can be done in a day trip.
Any small village on the lake shore is a treasure, get out of your car, and stroll through the narrow streets, cobbled footpaths, small pleasure harbours. Have a capuccino on the church square, and enjoy italian life.

Pianello del Lario ( Scarpagiano is one of the hamlets) is approx 10 km west of Menaggio and is well known for its watersports facilities, marina, surfing and sailing schools, Gravedona, Dongo, Cremia, Rezzonico have now a very nice lake side footpath connecting these villages. Enough to do for youngsters day and night ! Who likes hiking or mountainbiking, the easy going up slopes take you to meadows, woods, passing waterfalls, forgotten hamlets, here and there a church. The locals once took up their animals for herding them on the alpine meadows, some of them still do and you can buy nice fresh cheese or milk at the farmer's house. High mountains - up to 2300 m- all around the lake, high passes take you into Switzerland. These passages were once for trade ( legal and illegal) smuggler-stories are still told !
