TREKKING / HIKING

Mountains around the lake offer great hiking possibilities from a few hours to an entire day and even more, ranging from simple, peaceful lakeside strolls to steep mountain paths offering amazing panoramic views of the lake. 

CLIMBING

Lake Como is in the pre-alpine zone, which offers some fantastic scenery.

There is a great diversity of rock climbing to be found around Lake Como, with many single pitch sport routes through to long multi-pitch routes up to 500m long that require a mountaineering approach.

PARAGLIDIG & HANG GLIDING

Como Lake is a stunning location for those who want to try the thrill of dominating the skies using only the power of the wind.

Thanks to the particular wind currents around the lake, glyding is popular in the area. There are flying schools and its also possible to experience a tandem flight with an  assistant.

KITESURF E WINDSURF

Kite-surfing is Lake Como most exciting water based activity. It’s found mainly at the northern end, where, a combination of the Breva wind and open sandy beaches produces perfect conditions.

Windsurfing is one of the most popular of Lake Como’s water sports, with centres mostly around the northern end, because of its ‘Breva’ wind that blows in the afternoon.

Villa Paradiso is close to suitable kite surf and windsurf spots.

CANOEING

When lake is calm, experience a canoeing tour in the untouched natural landscape which surrounds you in silence and enjoy the lake panorama from a different point of view.

You can reach the northern part of the lake, crossing river Mera and arrive in the nature reserve of Pian di Spagna, the largest of Lombardy, a paradise for lovers of flora and fauna enthusiasts photographers.

SAILING

Lake Como is the ideal location for taking a sailing holiday or break. Dingy sailing is very popular and there are often regattas and sailing championships.

The silence with just the rush of water at the bow and the fantastic views from the Lake, which are totally different to viewing from the shore, make this a worthwhile experience!

Residence Villa Paradiso is in a walking distance from the local Sailing Club.

CANYONING

Sliding, climbing, diving down in a canyon is an unique experience that does not require special skills, you can do it in total security accompanied by an official mountain guide.

Enjoy canyoning experience during your vacation at Villa Paradiso.

OFF-PISTE SKIING & SNOW SHOES

The most simple and nicest way to go is  on snow shoes. Some advantages of this type of walking are that you need no particular training and can reach high up places even in Winter, crossing steep, un-walked upon fields of snow up right up to the mountain peaks.

Off-piste skiing is a wonderful way to experience nature in winter. Climbing up in complete silence, the joy of reaching the peak and the stunning views they offer over the lake, and the thrill of whizzing back down through fresh and untouched snow make this a fascinating sport.
