    JEANENE_S · October 2026

    A beautiful day in the foothills of the Alps.

    We were a group of 8 that ranged in age from 75-79 years of age. It is labeled as a hike but we walked along a gravel road to our picnic sight. The walk was beautiful and invigorating. Maria and her husband set a beautiful table of delicious meats, cheeses and fruit that we all enjoyed.

    Great hike and food

    Awesome hike and picnic. If you love the outdoors, you’ll love the experience. Maria was an amazing guide. Great hike, great conversation, amazing views and an awesome picnic. Would recommend this for anyone looking for something a little different and away from the crowds. We will definitely be back.

    Gorgeous experience high above Lake Como

    Of all the experiences we’ve booked through Viator, this was one of our absolute favorites! Maria was kind and gracious and hosted a truly unforgettable picnic! The food was delicious and it’s impossible to fully describe the beauty of the setting. Can’t say enough great things about it!

    Exclusive Picnic in the Foothills of the Alps with the Lake Views: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lake Como.

    How much does Exclusive Picnic in the Foothills of the Alps with the Lake Views cost?

    +

    Prices start at $166 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lake Como usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Exclusive Picnic in the Foothills of the Alps with the Lake Views take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lake Como is not rushed.

    Is Exclusive Picnic in the Foothills of the Alps with the Lake Views worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 114 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Lake Como, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Exclusive Picnic in the Foothills of the Alps with the Lake Views?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Exclusive Picnic in the Foothills of the Alps with the Lake Views suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Exclusive Picnic in the Foothills of the Alps with the Lake Views?

    +

    Around 40 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lake Como can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lake Como and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Exclusive Picnic in the Foothills of the Alps with the Lake Views start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lake Como within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lake Como?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lake Como experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ghisallo Pilgrimage - Road and E-bike Tour, Lake Como Private Wooden Boat Tour & Italian Glamour, Small-Group Pasta and Tiramisu Class in Como with Aperitivo. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lake Como?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lake Como?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
