Enjoy the wonderful experiences that Triangolo Lariano gives through OltreLario, a project curated by Lake Como GAL.

Discovering places in a new way at the right pace

We tiptoe into the territories of the Larian Mountains, places rich in water and mountain pastures, with a history that has shaped the landscape by drying swamps or creating cultivable terraces. We will travel it on foot and by bike through the seasons, falling in love with the views and traveling through splendid chestnut groves with centuries-old specimens. We will tread trails, explore caves, admire mountains and ridges, valleys and breathtaking views, discovering the local flora and fauna.

When tradition becomes heritage

We visit villages and towns, delve into the community of Triangolo Lariano searching for travel experiences that can make us part of a local identity made up of farming, agriculture, craftsmanship and emigration.

Walking often means superimposing our steps on those who have gone before us

We walk over mountains furrowed by deep gorges, resembling the wrinkled sun-colored faces of village people, who stop at corners to speak in dialect. We learn about the territory of the Larian Mountains through a history written over centuries.

ABOUT

OltreLario: Lake Como GAL's project for the enhancement of the Larian Mountains

OltreLario is a project implemented by Lago di Como GAL (Local Action Group), together with numerous actors in the Lake Como area, such as associations and local governments. The need is to enhance and promote what extends beyond Lake Como. For us, it is fundamental to make tourists feel an integral part of the territory. The invitation is to explore and experience the territories of Triangolo Lariano in all its facets, among unique landscapes, stories and traditions.

The need

"OltreLario" expresses the need of area operators to make known the space BEYOND LARIO. They want to broaden the horizons of travelers to everything around Lake Como through the discovery of natural paths and routes traced by man over the years.

The challenge

Lake Como GAL has accepted the challenge of reviving villages, rediscovering local culture and traditions, as well as implementing networks, to strengthen the tourism sector.

The network

The construction of the slow tourism offer requires networking: area actors, operators, bike renters, guides, associations, and local governments must design the tourism product together to create a proposal that succeeds in intriguing tourists and leading them to discover the Larian Mountains.

Communication

The traveler chooses what he perceives to be close to him. It is essential, therefore, to make him feel part of the story. The contents are composed of interwoven stories about local tangible and intangible heritage and the stories of the people who populate Triangolo Lariano.

Larian Mountains:

Triangolo Lariano

Then there is Palanzone, Boletto, Bolettone, Cornizzolo, Corni di Canzo and Moregallo. On the plateaus lie the green and wellspring Lake Segrino and the mirror-like blue Lake Pusiano.
