Duration: 2 hours
Two hours to reach the real lake: past the villas of Como and up the shore to Laglio and the Orrido di Nesso.
With two hours you leave the first basin behind and the landscape changes: the mountains close in, villages become small clusters of houses clinging to the rock and the villas hide behind cypresses.
We pass Torno with its church at the water's edge, Laglio with the most private estates on the lake, and reach the Orrido di Nesso gorge with its waterfall. This is the itinerary we recommend to understand how the lake is built without straying far from Como.
Board at whichever jetty suits you, including straight from your lakeside hotel.
The eastern shore, the Torno harbour and the famous Pliniana with its intermittent spring.
A compact village between the mountains, home to the area's most private villas.
Approaching the gorge, its stone bridge and waterfall, with a stop for photographs.
Your skipper slows down in front of each villa and explains what you are looking at.
