What is the best season for a boat tour on Lake Como?
What is the best season for a boat tour on Lake Como?
Our boat trips on Lake Como operate from April to October, weather permitting. Each season offers a different atmosphere and a unique way to experience the lake.
In spring, the lake becomes vibrant again after winter. One of the most beautiful moments of the season is when the famous wisteria flowers bloom around many historic villas along the shoreline. Spring also offers longer days and a peaceful atmosphere before the peak summer season.
During summer, the lake is lively and full of energy. A private boat tour allows guests to enjoy Lake Como away from the crowds, relaxing on board and stopping for refreshing swims in the lake during the warmest days.
In early autumn, the atmosphere becomes quieter and more intimate again. The surrounding hills begin to change color, the air is fresh and the lake returns to a slower rhythm, making it a wonderful time for a calm and elegant sailing experience.
