Italy, Vezio, Lake Como - Hidden Village Above Varenna

09 Aug 2026 Is this the most beautiful hidden gem of Lake Como? Today, we escape the crowds of Varenna to discover the secret medieval village of Vezio. Our journey starts with a challenging hike - climbing up slippery stone paths right after the rain. It’s a steep and moody ascent, but the reward at the top is beyond words. Join me for an authentic walking tour through the quiet, narrow streets of Vezio. We’ll explore the village's heart, visit its only local bar, and step inside a hauntingly beautiful, empty church. You’ll see how locals live in this peaceful sanctuary high above the bustling lake, and of course, we’ll witness the most spectacular panoramic views of Lake Como, Bellagio, and Menaggio. Finally, we’ll make our way back down the mountain to the colorful shores of Varenna. If you're looking for things to do in Lake Como that are off the beaten path, this Vezio walking tour is for you.
