It’s not just another quaint village of 1,600 inhabitants with stunning views of the lake and postcard-perfect Alpine backdrops. Brunate is much more than that: a unique and exclusive location on Lake Como where everything is designed for a human scale. Here, you can live in harmony with the city and its surrounding nature, embracing a healthy and active lifestyle.
The historic center of Como is reachable on foot in about 45 minutes via several trails or by taking the funicular. In Brunate, you can get around on foot or by bicycle. Given the town’s hilly terrain, an electric bike is highly recommended for effortless navigation through the winding streets that weave between the mountains. This way, you can easily manage elevation gains of up to 300 meters with minimal effort. Ditching the car for these micro-movements is a viable option for those ready to change their lifestyle and adopt healthier habits.
Visitors to Brunate have two choices: they can treat it as a challenging, sporty adventure or simply use it as another picturesque spot for selfies. But there’s more: with our electric bikes and a good pair of trekking shoes, you can explore the most scenic locations, starting with the historic Volta Lighthouse or the summit of Monte Boletto, standing 1,235 meters above sea level and reachable in just 90 minutes!
In short, whether you’re a resident or a first-time visitor, Brunate offers a unique opportunity to embrace a new, dynamic lifestyle in close connection with nature. By cycling or hiking along lesser-known trails and hidden corners, you’ll immerse yourself in the beauty of this region, breathing in vitality and enjoying breathtaking views that only Brunate can offer.
