Full description
Seen from the water or seen from above: whichever way you look at it, Lake Como is a spectacle!
Get ready to discover it with a one-hour rubber dinghy tour, which will take you past the most beautiful villas on the Lario.
Toast on board with a glass of prosecco and, at the end of the tour, hop on the Brunate funicular for a superb view!
What we will do
The appointment is 10 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point in Como (CO). Awaiting us will be the skipper who will accompany us on this excursion on Lake Como!
Once on board our dinghy, we will be served a welcome glass of prosecco (or a soft drink) to start the adventure with a toast.
We will sail on the waters of the Lario admiring elegant residences such as Villa Erba, Villa d'Este and Villa Versace. The skipper will guide us through the most picturesque villages along the coast, regaling us with anecdotes and curiosities.
Back at the pier, the skipper will hand us a voucher for the Brunate funicular. At this point, the activity will continue on our own: we will head towards the turnstiles of the funicular and, thanks to the skip-the-line access, we will climb up to the village of Brunate at a height of 700 metres. During the ascent, which takes about seven minutes, we will see the lake getting smaller and smaller below us.
Once we reach the top, we can visit the town in freedom and take beautiful souvenir photos from the 'Balcony of the Alps'. The return tickets for the funicular can be used at any time of the day (please consult the opening and closing times of the funicular in advance) .
The excursion by rubber dinghy will last 1 hour in total, while the ascent by funicular is free.
