Come alone, leave with new friends
The experience
This is how your journey begins, exploring the ancient "Sentiero del Viandante" (Wayfarer's Path): with a first stage that takes us from Abbadia Lariana to Lierna.
Enjoy a long, gentle hike discovering the secrets of Lake Como, its unexpected olive groves, the pilgrims and wayfarers who walked this path centuries before us, and the joys of hiking as a way of life.
And since we'll be having our first packed lunch of the year, by popular demand, the guide's famous cookies are back!
