About this experience

An about two hours long walk, with great naturalistic interest, offering astonishing views over the Lake and surrounding mountains. Starting from the legendary "Devil's Bridge" we begin to immerse ourselves in a varied nature and then, slowly, in the atmosphere of Lezzeno and its territory always surprising and contradictory.

Duration: 2 hours + time needed to return to the starting point on foot or by bus (service not included)

Detailed itinerary

So close to Bellagio and still so little-known, so little visited. No glamour, the fascination of Lezzeno, a long village of homes between the mountain and the lake, is a true, somehow mysterious beauty, disturbing according to some. According to tradition here witches and the devil himself feel at home. It is hard not to believe it when you move from the mythical and hidden Devil's Bridge.
