Discovering Porlezza
Porlezza is a small town in the province of Como, just 1 and a half hours outside of Milan. And while the landscape is magnificent year round, the area attracts the most visitors from May to September. In the summertime, visitors can enjoy a pleasant swim in the lake, relax in the sun on the shore, and have some fun with boat and canoe rentals. A hamlet of Porlezza, called Begna, is known for its waterfalls, which can be reached via a dirt trail, suitable for everyone. Visitors can have fun here during the warmer months as well, splashing around in the cool water. And while visitors can enjoy picturesque views by walking through the streets of Porlezza’s historic town centre, or by visiting the Rescia Caves and the 70-metre-high waterfalls, the most impressive scenery of all can be admired by climbing Mount Sighignola. Known as the Balcony of Italy, the mountain offers visitors the opportunity to take in an absolutely breathtaking panoramic view of Lake Lugano and its surrounding mountains, Lake Maggiore, and the Madonnina atop Milan’s Cathedral.
