Bellano, Italy

June 2017

Sitting on the eastern side of Lake Como’s northern branch, Bellano is less visited than nearby Varenna, but no less charming. Fronted by the typically quaint lakeside homes, tall trees, and a pristine beach, Bellano makes for a pleasantly quiet escape from the crowds. Its most famous attraction is the naturally formed Orrido di Torrente Pioverna, a plunging, 15-million-year-old ravine formed by erosion. You can get a great look at the gorge thanks to viewing bridges that allow you to take great photos of the caves and the sparkling blue water inside the ravine.もっと詳しく
