What to do and see in Varenna, Lombardy: The Best Outdoor Activities

February 18, 2022 Weston Hennigan

Varenna is a slow-paced destination—most visitors come here to relax by the lake. But even if "Working on my tan" is the #1 thing on your itinerary, take some time to explore the area. There’s the Castello di Vizio, a medieval fortress surrounded by an olive grove. And you’ll want to view the old, tiered gardens at the Villa Cipressi—they stretch all the way down to the water. Finally, visit the source of the Fiumelatte, a peculiar river—it’s only 250 m long and disappears from October to March.

Sentiero del Viandante

Reviewed By karimmaarouf - Cairo, Egypt

Great hike up to the castle. Start from the ferry terminal then you have two options, head to the right (with your back to the water) and climb up a very steep but short path and return from the other side, which is not as steep but longer. Or you can do it the other way round. Either way, the views along the way and at the top where the castle is are very nice. You don't need to be very fit to do this or even have hiking shoes.
