Are you ready to go back to the time of the First World War? Experience the history of the world by walking in a beautiful protected natural area, crossing trenches and tunnels built during the First World War on the border with Switzerland. I will be very happy to share with you something that fascinates me so much! I will tell you the story of this incredible engineering work, and why it was so important for the locals. As some of my friends say "I was almost born in this forest" and I've always heard stories told about it, so I promise I won't be boring! Walking on a path carved into the rock, entering and exiting trenches and tunnels, we will reach the highest point of the Park, the Monte Sasso, from where they enjoy a 360 ° view of Como, the lake and the plain towards Milan. Technical data: Distance: 4mi / 6, 5 Km Walking time: about 6 h Uphill height difference: about 1000 ft /300 m For good walkers - Good walking shoes with non-slip sole required.
I'll meet you in Como and, in about 10 minutes by bus, we will get to one of the park entrances. Here, walking on a path carved into the rock, climbing the side of Monte Sasso which face the Swiss border, starts our walk into a beautiful area rich in nature and history. We'll walk slowly and take our time, stopping every few minutes, there's so much to see! The path goes up to many trenches and tunnels and also a little Tibetan bridge! In about 3 hours, we'll get to the highest point of the park, from where we will enjoy an incredible view on Como and its lake (and also, on our sandwiches!). We will then go down on the other side of the hill, till the small village of Cavallasca, ending our walk beside Villa Imbonati, a beautiful country house built in 1656 (you can have a look inside if it's open). From here we'll then go back to Como by bus (25 minutes). Children always like this tour (give them a flashlight for the tunnels)! The tour can be customized according to requests.
