Greenway del Lago route and access
The main decision on the Greenway is where to finish, because reaching the next village does not guarantee a convenient journey back. Choose your section alongside the bus or boat timetable, then identify the stop you need before starting. The route moves between the waterfront and older lanes above it. Follow the signed path rather than assuming the shore road gives you an equivalent walking route.

The best time to visit
Start in the morning if you want to walk the full route with breaks. In hot weather, choose a shorter section and carry water. After rain, take extra care on stone steps and sloping lanes.
How to get to Greenway del Lago
The full route links Colonno and Griante, with intermediate access through villages including Lenno and Tremezzo. Use a western shore bus or a suitable boat stop for your chosen section. Check the official route map for the walk between your arrival stop and the signed trail.
Tips for your visit
- Choose a finish point with a confirmed return service, leaving time to walk from the trail to the stop.
- Wear shoes with grip for stone steps and sloping lanes, and carry water for stretches between village stops.
- Follow the Greenway signs through villages and take care at road crossings; the route is not a continuous lakeside promenade.
Greenway del Lago route and access
Do I need to book a ticket for the Greenway?
No. The walking route is free and does not require a reservation. Any bus, boat or separately visited attraction has its own arrangements.
Can I walk just one section?
Yes. Choose two villages with suitable transport connections and follow the signed route between them. Check the return timetable before setting out.
Is the route suitable for a pushchair?
Steps, slopes and uneven surfaces make the complete route unsuitable for an ordinary pushchair. Use the official map to investigate shorter accessible alternatives.
Can I return by boat after walking?
You can plan a section around villages with public boat stops, but check actual departures first. Leave time to reach the landing from the route.
