WHY THIS HIKE

San Fedelino: lake's hidden gem

A Romanesque chapel tucked in the woods, right on the water.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Dascio, above Sorico, where Lake Como narrows and almost turns into a river. It's a crossing that climbs straight into the forest, along ancient mule tracks with the lake flashing between the trees at every bend. We reach the highest point of the trail, then head down towards our goal: the San Fedelino chapel, a tiny Romanesque gem rising right on the shore. The final stretch drops steeply, pulling us closer to the water with every step.

We're walking the old Via Regina, the medieval road that once linked Como to Valtellina: pilgrims and merchants crossed this same path centuries ago.

5 reasons to join - San Fedelino chapel, a piece of history right on the lake - a forest crossing lit up by autumn colors - lake views that change at every turn - an ancient trail, part of the historic Via Regina - golden afternoon light on the way down

Who it's for Anyone with decent fitness and a taste for walking: some steep stretches, but nothing technical. Good hiking shoes are enough.

Come discover San Fedelino with the Guidders: history and lake views, all in one unforgettable walk.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Stefano, an AMI Bike instructor and a CAI guide. Walking and cycling aren't just sport for me, they're a way of living: I love nature, the right kind of effort and the freedom that ridges and trails hand you. I like being among people, listening, sharing experiences and building a group — because every tour is far more than a route, it's an adventure to live together. I've travelled in Nepal, India, Norway, England, Spain, Albania, Morocco and all over Italy, and every trip taught me something new about myself and about the world. Whether it's a panoramic loop on the mountains at home or a multi-day tour abroad, I like planning every detail and bringing together sport, nature and fun. 🚵 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
