Piona Abbey

This tour takes you south from Colico along the shores of Lake Como through rural areas before beginning a climb through the forest. The reward of the climb is several vantage points, where you can admire breathtaking views of the Alps.

After descending, you will reach the medieval village of Corenno Plinio en route to the enchanting Abbey of Piona. This Cistercian monastery is surrounded by olive trees and dates back to 610 AD. It is an unspoiled setting that evokes distant times: a rare gem of Lombard Romanesque architecture.
