About this experience
Discover a different side of Lake Como on a panoramic hiking tour designed for travelers who want more than the usual boat rides and crowded viewpoints. Our hikes take you along carefully selected mountain trails offering wide-open views over the lake, charming villages, and the surrounding Alps: places most visitors never reach. Whether you are new to hiking or already experienced, we choose routes that are enjoyable, safe, and adapted to your pace. We offer private and small-group tours starting from Como, Lecco, Varenna, Milan, and nearby towns. Private tours are ideal for couples, families, and friends who value flexibility, comfort, and a personalized experience. As an optional addition, we can organize a scenic outdoor picnic during the hike, featuring local products and panoramic views - a perfect moment to relax, enjoy the surroundings, and make the day even more memorable. Join us to explore Lake Como from its most beautiful and authentic viewpoint - on foot.

Fun hike with stunning views and a wonderful guide
I had an absolutely wonderful experience on this hike with my guide Andrey! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the scenery was stunning. Andrey was outstanding - knowledgeable about the area and the trails while also being friendly and attentive. I had a great time talking with him about various hikes we have both done. The hike itself exceeded all my expectations and I came away with a fantastic memories of my time in Lecco. I highly recommend this company and especially any tour with Andrey as your guide!

Hike tour with andrey
We did the hiking tour with Andrey today and it was so great! I took my 60 year old mom with me so I requested an easy/ beginner friendly hike and he delivered perfectly! It was a nice and easy walk but still with the most beautiful views! He picked us up in Varenna and we enjoyed the car ride up the mountain as much as we did the hike! At the top he served the most delicious lunch spread with meats, cheeses and freshly baked croissants (Brioche in this region) that he picked up right before the hike. 10/10 recommend. Was a great experience, beautiful views and a great way to get out of the busy city for an afternoon.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Milan/Como/Varenna: Panoramic Hiking Tours near Lake Como: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Milan.
How much does From Milan/Como/Varenna: Panoramic Hiking Tours near Lake Como cost?
+
Prices start at $211 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Milan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Milan/Como/Varenna: Panoramic Hiking Tours near Lake Como take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Milan is not rushed.
Is From Milan/Como/Varenna: Panoramic Hiking Tours near Lake Como worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 50 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Milan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Milan/Como/Varenna: Panoramic Hiking Tours near Lake Como?
+
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 From Milan/Como/Varenna: Panoramic Hiking Tours near Lake Como suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Milan/Como/Varenna: Panoramic Hiking Tours near Lake Como?
+
Around 18 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 Milan 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 Milan and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Milan/Como/Varenna: Panoramic Hiking Tours near Lake Como 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 Milan 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 Milan?
+
On Outty we rank every Milan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gnocchi, Pasta, Tiramisù and Wine Class, Authentic Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class in Milan, Milan's Hidden Gems: Unique Bike Tour (ENG, NL). 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 Milan?
+
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 Milan?
+
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.
