The eastern shore of the ancient Lario is the one most dotted with enchanting countries and natural places like the deep canyons: the most famous is the Orrido di Bellano, an evocative natural gorge that was formed over 15 million years ago. And on the imposing lake there are also the peaks of Grigna and Resegone, which surround the water basin and are reflected in the waves on a clear day. The western side of the lake, which starts right in the territory of the provincial capital, has a more defined geography and is now a famous resort for the luxurious neoclassical villas, half each year of visitors and international celebrities. Overall, Lake Como, the third largest in Italy after Lake Garda and Lake Maggiore, is over 46 km long and extends over 146 square kilometers between the Italian Alps and the Po Valley. It is considered by many to be "the most beautiful lake in the world" and attracts enthusiasts and visitors every year from all over the world.
