Atraccions turístiques a Bodio

This experience combines a visit to the Orrido di Bellano with an audio guide that covers the villages and strategic points around Lake Como. Lake Como is known for its natural beauty, history and culture, and the audio guide offers the chance to follow that story as you explore. You will listen to descriptions of the lakeside villages and the key viewpoints that help explain the area’s character. The Orrido di Bellano is a gorge about 100 metres deep, carved by the river Pioverna over centuries. As you move through the site on a system of walkways, you will be able to admire waterfalls, gorges and caves that characterise the ravine. The route is described as well maintained and safe, allowing close-up views of the geological features while you listen to the audio commentary.

This self-guided experience will give you the chance to discover Monte San Salvatore. After riding a funicular to the top of the mountain, you’ll get to admire panoramic views and unique landscapes. You can also hike along one of the mountain’s many preserved nature paths. You’ll also have the opportunity to visit the San Salvatore Museum. Here, you’ll be able to explore rare exhibitions that focus on the region’s geography, as well as learn more about the history of the iconic mountain.

From Bellagio, you’ll set off on a suggestive boat trip across Lake Como, sailing past spectacular scenery and charming lakeside villages. As you move through the waters, you’ll see Varenna and its elegant historic villas, including Villa Monastero, and pass Villa Carlotta, celebrated for its lush gardens. Along the way you’ll glimpse Villa del Balbianello, made famous by films such as Star Wars and Casino Royale, and the dream home Villa Balbiano, known for its role as a backdrop in House of Gucci. The cruise includes a stop at Isola Comacina and a passage in front of Villa Melzi, set in a well-kept green landscape. On the boat a billboard will give instructions to download the audio guide app; headphones are not provided. Please note that on weekends, because of large turnout and restrictive embarkation and disembarkation times at the piers, the tour may be shorter.

Starting from the heart of Lugano, you will travel by boat to the little harbour of Cassarate and then take the panoramic funicular up towards the sunniest peak of the city. As the funicular climbs, the view of the city centre will gradually open beneath you. You will enjoy wide, clear vistas as the town, lake and surrounding mountains spread out at your feet, reaching what is described as Lugano’s most unspoiled summit. At the top you will stroll through the small village of Brè, where life still moves at a slow, traditional pace. Along the narrow lanes you will see typical Ticinese houses and a local church, and you will come across works of art that punctuate the village. The experience combines sweeping panoramas with a quiet, historic village atmosphere, giving you time to take in both the landscape and the local architecture.

At the world of birds of prey you will enjoy an exciting, close-up encounter with some of the planet’s most impressive birds. The experience centres on watching these animals in flight from a near vantage point, giving you a clear view of wings, movement and presence as they glide and manoeuvre overhead. Along the way you will observe eagles, hawks, owls, vultures, marabus, ibis and storks. The setting emphasises a respectful relationship between people and animals, so the demonstrations and viewing areas aim to let the birds behave naturally while you remain close enough to appreciate their size and skill. As you move through the site, the combination of sight, sound and motion may feel like a meeting point between humans and the natural world, offering a memorable perspective on these species.

You’ll ride from Colico, at the northern tip of Lake Como, on comfortable Western saddles with a short practice session beforehand so even beginners feel at ease. An experienced guide will lead the way along tranquil trails and open fields, pointing out rivers, mountains and views of the eastern shores of Lake Como as you move through unspoiled countryside. Along the route you may reach the lake and, when accessible, pause at the beach. A longer ride option may include a lovely woodland trail that reaches the first paths of the Valtellina region. In summer you may even be able to ride into a river or the lake, while winter snow rides offer a different, quieter way to experience the snowy landscape. If you have a disability, the provider will assess safety on site and will cancel the experience if participation is not safe.

A pleasant boat cruise from Lugano will take you to the ancient fishing village of Morcote, the winner of the title of Switzerland’s Most Beautiful Village 2016. As you approach by water, you will see the village’s compact shoreline and lush subtropical vegetation that frames the historic centre. On foot, you will wander the narrow streets and pass under the arcades of the old patrician houses. Along the way you will notice valuable architectural monuments and the calm, intimate atmosphere that has earned Morcote the reputation as the Pearl of the Ceresio. After time to explore this little corner of paradise, the boat will be waiting to bring you back to Lugano.

This romantic walking experience takes you from the lakeside village of Gandria to the city of Lugano. You’ll follow the Olive Trail, a scenic route that runs beside the water and provides views of Lake Lugano. Along the way you’ll enjoy a gentle lakeside walk and the peaceful setting between the two towns. In Gandria you’ll have time to stroll around the village and choose something to eat in one of its many different restaurants. After your visit, a boat will be waiting to carry you back to Lugano, completing the loop between village and city. The pace is relaxed, letting you take in the scenery and the village atmosphere as you move between the two locations.

Spend a day at a prestigious winery in Domaso on Lake Como and learn how a fine wine is born. On a guided tour you will see where the wine ages and get an inside look at the production spaces.

You will also enjoy local delicacies alongside the tastings, adding regional flavours to the experience. Overall, this visit gives a relaxed chance to explore a Lake Como winery, taste its wines and savour a few local treats.

A private powerboat tour on the lake will let you admire the lake’s beauty from the best viewpoint. You will travel aboard a comfortable powerboat while Captain Hellen and Captain Vol accompany you. As you move across the water, you will enjoy views of the shoreline and the natural scenery that the lake offers. You will benefit from a private setting, so the experience will be centred on what you find most interesting. You will be able to speak with the captains in English, Spanish, French, German and Italian, as they speak all these languages fluently. You will notice their passion and enthusiasm as they guide you, and you will be invited to join in that energy. You may leave feeling refreshed and with a stronger connection to the place, having seen the lake from its best vantage points. You will have a relaxed and personal outing led by Captain Hellen and Captain Vol.

You will begin on the lake shore beneath Monte San Salvatore and move into the heart of Lugano’s cultural sites. Along the way you will visit Lugano Arte Cultura and the Santa Maria Degli Angeli Church. The route includes a scenic cable car ride up Monte San Salvatore, giving you elevated views over the city and the lake as you ascend. At the summit you will have free time to explore the mountain and its viewpoints, with the option to sit for a picnic. Food and drinks are not included, so you should bring anything you want to eat. A panoramic restaurant is also available at the top if you prefer to buy a meal. When your time on the mountain ends, you will return by cable car to the lakeside, where the experience concludes.

On this Lake Como experience you'll visit the two iconic villages of Bellagio and Varenna and a hidden gem that other tours don't reach: the dramatic Bellano Gorge. Priority boat access will let you avoid queues and move quickly between stops. A guide will lead a small group of no more than 15 people — guiding larger groups of 25+ is banned by law in Bellagio — so you'll explore at a relaxed pace. Along the way you'll wander narrow cobbled streets and enjoy plenty of free time to explore Villa Melzi, take in waterfront views and have lunch at a waterside restaurant. Your guide will point out highlights as you move through each village. In summer you may stay longer in Bellano and, weather permitting, enjoy a refreshing swim in Lake Como; the beach there is small and rocky, with deep water close to shore.

Locarno has the best climate in Switzerland, a lakeside setting that looks borrowed from Italy, and a film festival that draws the world every August. This app-led scavenger hunt will take you on a self-guided walk through the town, using riddles on your phone to lead you from one landmark to the next. There’s no guide and no fixed start time, so you can begin when it suits you and move at your own pace. Along the way you’ll follow clues to Piazza Grande, Castello Visconteo and the Walk of Fame Locarno, encountering civic life, medieval history and a touch of cinema glamour as you go. The route stays by the lake and through the town’s warm historical corners — Locarno is even the only Swiss city where you sunbathe in February. The experience is available in German and English and is suitable for families, couples and groups of any size.

Rather than a noisy speedboat, you’ll sail Lake Como with Ricky, a friendly local skipper, through the central area known as the Golden Triangle. The small-group boat holds up to six people (captain excluded) and will be shared with other guests, creating a relaxed atmosphere with music, conversation and stories and myths about the lake. Along the way you’ll pass the charming villages of Bellagio, Varenna, Menaggio and Tremezzo. Note that the tour does not go to Nesso Bridge or George Clooney’s villa. As you glide between villages you’ll enjoy a local aperitivo featuring a selection of traditional vegetarian and non-vegetarian snacks paired with prosecco and refreshing soft drinks. Bring your swimsuit: if the weather allows, we will stop at a secluded spot where you can swim in the clear water. Expect friendly chats, a slow-pace Italian vibe and time to sit back and relax on board as you take in the scenery.

Set out from the small beach by Piazza della Chiesa and enjoy a kayaking outing on Lake Como around Bellagio. From the water, you’ll take in the lakeside views and decide which direction to explore. The launch point puts you right into the scenery of the town and its shoreline. You can paddle north to explore the scenic Villa Melzi gardens, passing Riverside Beach and Loppia along the way. Alternatively, head south to paddle past private properties such as Villa La Placida, Villa Ada and Villa Orlando, with a number of hidden beaches that lead toward the exclusive Ponte del Diavolo Beach. Beside that spot you’ll find Villa Lucertola, noted as one of the region’s most exquisite gems. Along either route, you’ll experience the shoreline, gardens and villas of Bellagio from a quiet, waterside perspective.
