June 2017 Map of walk 2 hours 15 mins For a map of Lake Como, see introduction
We went by bus C40 from Como to Lecco (railway station), then up and up by bus 5 to Funivia d’Erna (the lower cable car station at 710m =2,300ft). From the top cable car station (at 1,375 m = 4,500ft) there is a way-marked nature trail – Sentiero Natura.
The cable car will take us up there
That’s where we were just now
Wonderful view over Lecco, and the Lecco arm of Lake Como
Lovely views from the nature trail
Much of the walk was through woods – we were glad of the shade
That is a road zig-zagging up the mountain on the other side of the lake
Is that the top? Actually, no it is not
Back down in Lecco – Viscontea tower
At the lake side
In the lake is a golden statue of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors
Looking north
