Menaggio

Orrido di Bellano
Walk through the Bellano Gorge (Orrido di Bellano), a natural canyon carved by rushing water over thousands of years.
Follow elevated walkways fixed to the rock walls, passing waterfalls, narrow passages, and dramatic views directly above the river below.
The visit is fully walkable and well maintained, making it easy to explore while enjoying a unique natural setting.
After the gorge, take time to visit Bellano, a calm lakeside village with a local atmosphere, far from mass tourism. This stop adds a quieter, natural experience that most Lake Como day trips do not include.
