Autumn path covered in fallen leaves with trees

Lake

Morning Hike to San Martino

An early climb through chestnut woods to a chapel above the lake, with coffee in a flask at the top.

3 hours

Included

We leave at seven, before the heat, on our boat across to Cadenabbia. From the landing the path climbs through chestnut and beech woods to the small church of San Martino, four hundred metres above the water.

At the top

Your guide carries coffee and warm focaccia in a basket. From the terrace in front of the church you can see three arms of the lake at once.

The walk is steady, not steep. Good shoes are enough; we lend walking poles at the door.
