Lake Como is one of the deepest lakes in Europe and the deepest in Italy. Swimming and diving are prohibited in many areas and can be dangerous. However, for those wishing to swim, there are some options. Nearby are the Lido di Ossuccio and Lido di Lenno. Other small towns also offer lakeside beaches and bars. The Lido di Bellagio and the pebbly beach of San Giovanni await those wanting to explore the beautiful town of Bellagio. Locals and visitors alike enjoy going to Nesso, where brave swimmers can jump into the lake from the ancient Roman bridge near the waterfall.
Lake Como is located in a mountainous region. Although the surrounding Pre-Alps don’t appear very tall, the climate is still influenced by nearby mountains, and temperatures can change quickly. Pay special attention to the weather during hikes, and bring warm and waterproof clothing!
