Christmas Holidays by the Lake?! Why Not!

Christmas Holidays by the Lake?! Why Not!

It’s true, this isn’t the best season to visit Lake Como.
It’s true, it will be cold and swimming at the beach is off the table.

But.

There are actually many compelling “buts” when it comes to spending winter on the lake—ones that let you discover a truly unique, magical atmosphere.

Let’s explore four great reasons to spend your winter holidays on Lake Como:

Visit the most famous places without the crowds

Places like Varenna, Bellagio, Lenno, and other lake gems are overwhelmed by tourists in summer. Parking can be nearly impossible, and walks become a hurried shuffle through crowds.

In winter, all of that disappears: it’ll be just you, your loved one, and a romantic sunset over the lake.

Be enchanted by autumn foliage on the lakeside mountains

Crimson red, scarlet, maroon, amber orange, cadmium or mustard yellow, lemon yellow…

Have fun spotting all the shades the autumn leaves can take as they reflect on the lake’s surface. It’s an unmissable spectacle.

Enjoy holiday decorations

Who doesn’t love that Christmas vibe?!

Here by the lake, you can indulge in plenty of it.

Come and experience “Luci su Lecco,” the event lighting up the historic center with beautiful projections and holiday music—or glide around the ice skating rink

Savor small moments of pleasure

What’s more beautiful and satisfying than enjoying a hot chocolate as the sun sets and the air turns crisp?

Treat yourself to a small yet intense moment of pleasure, curled up in a cozy, elegant tea room overlooking the lake.

Happy holidays to everyone!
