Lake Como, also known as Lario, is the third largest
of the Italian lakes and, with a maximum depth of
approximately 410 meters is one of the deepest
lakes in Europe.
Its characteristic shape, reminiscent of an inverted Y,
results from the melting of glaciers combined with
the erosive action of the ancient Adda river. This led
to the formation of the two southern branches, in
the midst of which there is the world popular
Bellagio.
Located at the foot of the Alps, Lake Como
provides one of the most picturesque sceneries in
the world. If you’re going to visit the Italian lakes,
you’ll be surprised to learn about the many things
to do in Lake Como.
The entire perimeter of Lake Como is studded
with charming villages and towns. The most
popular destinations are definitely Bellagio,
Varenna and the city that gives its name to the
lake, Como.
