Create an itinerary including Orrido di Bellano
Take in the sweet smell of fresh air and the calm of rushing water at Orrido di Bellano, a waterfall and gorge. This natural attraction is the result of water erosion that took place over 15 million years ago. Explore the gorge and waterfall via thin wooden platforms which lead to a lookout point with a spectacular view of the sparkling lake below. The narrow path travels through the rocky crevasses lined with ferns and shrubbery, and the fall's powerful force provides an awe-inspiring retreat in a very scenic spot.

  • באמצע העיירה, בין הכנסיות, כניסה לנקיק צר ועמוק. ביקרנו שם בתקופת חג המולד, והיופי הטבעי הואר בסמלי החג. הגענו בשעה 4 אחה"צ כשהחשיכה מתחילה והיופי היה מושלם. מדהים לראות מה מים יכולים לעשות Pioverna.....  more

  • Absolutely beautiful and peaceful gorge. Only €5 and definitely worth a visit. Great for nature lovers and only a short train ride away from Varenna.

  • Cool place to visit! A nice little walk around a small waterfall. It's a very quick walk so plan other things for your day after this 10m (10 if you take a 3-5 moments to appreciate the beauty, could be a 2 minute speed walk) is done. It's near Como so other things shouldn't be hard to find.
  • Such a wonderful (somewhat) hidden gem. A beautiful gorge filled with gorgeous waterfalls and green plants of such variety. Bellano is a wonderful town and this just makes it that much more special. Highly recommend the easy walk up the steps to get here.
  • Worth it! It’s 5m away from the boat (Bellano). Bellano is beautiful and it’s not as full of tourists as bellagio. Orrido was beautiful, clean and safe. Amazing place. Definitely recommend going. If you’re going by boat buy the tickets in advance because it may sell out.
  • According to the already posted pictures, I expected more. In 15 minutes the walk is completed, including stops for pictures. The €5 are acceptable because it must have been a lot of work to install all those walkways and to maintain them. I would call this sight "alright" and if you are in this area, it is something to do. Also the town is worth seeing and it has an exit from the motorway. Parking could be a bit of a hassle and it will cost more then average but still not too bad. In the summer it is probably better to walk through there because of the cooler climate (mountain, running water). For me this was a one time event. Many stairs to walk up and down which means not handicapped friendly but it would be very hard do do giving the circumstances.
  • Beautiful waterfall to see when visiting Lake Como. Easy to arrive with the local train or ferry. Nice experience for 5€ fee. Easy 15/20' walk.
