La terza tappa del Sentiero del Viandante, da Varenna a Dervio, è un'esperienza indimenticabile per tutti gli amanti della natura e del fascino del Lago di Como. Camminando lungo il percorso, potrete immergervi in un paesaggio mozzafiato, dove le acque cristalline del lago si riflettono sotto le montagne imponenti, creando uno scenario da cartolina.

The experience
Il sentiero si snoda tra borghi caratteristici e piccole frazioni, offrendo scorci panoramici spettacolari che spaziano dalle verdi colline alle vette delle Alpi. Lungo il cammino, il profumo dei boschi di castagni e degli ulivi si mescola all'aria fresca del lago, mentre ruscelli e cascate rendono ogni passo un momento di scoperta. Il tratto che collega Varenna a Dervio è perfetto per chi cerca una passeggiata rilassante ma al contempo affascinante, con la costante compagnia del lago...
...e dei biscottini della guida!

Easy
Perfect for those who want to enjoy nature without too much effort. Short, well-marked trails with gentle slopes. No technical difficulties, just a desire to walk, breathe in the fresh air, and share the day with a group.
Ideal for: Beginners, families, those who want to take their first steps in trekking.
Easy Plus
A little faster pace, but still accessible. Slightly longer routes or with a few more hills, requiring some walking experience. The terrain is always easy and safe.
Ideal for: Those who walk regularly and want to challenge themselves a little.
Intermediate — this outing
Here we enter the world of true trekking. Steeper climbs, stretches on uneven or longer trails that require stamina. The physical effort is medium to high, and the fatigue is noticeable... but so is the satisfaction!
Ideal for: Those who already have experience and a good level of physical fitness.
Intermediate Plus
When the mountains begin to take their toll. More challenging routes in terms of gradient or duration, with technical sections or uneven terrain. Even a medium elevation gain can be tough if concentrated in just a few kilometers
Ideal for: Trained hikers, accustomed to walking on mountain paths
Difficult
Level suitable for experienced hikers with excellent stamina and surefootedness. The physical challenge is high, and there may be steep sections or possible exposure, which is always noted in the hike description. Perfect for those who enjoy pushing their limits and conquering significant peaks.
Ideal for: Those who already have experience in an Alpine environment and want to challenge themselves.
Difficult Plus
Only for true Guidders with their Wild Spirit at its peak Long routes, significant elevation gain (over 1,100 m), and technical or exposed terrain. Excellent physical preparation, sure-footedness, and the ability to manage fatigue at high altitude are required.
Ideal for: Highly trained and experienced hikers in the mountains.
Exposure and exposed sections
NONE
No exposed sections reported on the route.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Anna, an environmental hiking guide and a repentant ex-office worker. I run group hikes in Lombardy, mainly in the provinces of Lecco, Como and Sondrio, and the reason is always the same: to spread as widely as I can that sense of wonder towards nature and towards this precious, beautiful planet of ours. What I enjoy most is watching someone enjoy a view without a worry in their head and go home having learned something new. It happens often — and it happens better if there's one of my home-made biscuits to nibble along the way. 🍪 Join one of my hikes and see for yourself. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
We only ask for feedback from people who were really there.
After your outing, you can share your story too.
