A characteristic town between beaches and mountains
A characteristic town between beaches and mountains
Just a few minutes from Lecco, nestled on the shores of Lake Como, Abbadia Lariana owes its name to an ancient Benedictine abbey founded in the 8th century. The town’s medieval origins are still visible today in the Watchtowers of Crebbio, a charming reminder of its fascinating past.
The heart of the village is its well-equipped beach, perfect for swimming, relaxing in the sun, or enjoying water sports in a breathtaking natural setting where the lake meets the mountains.
Among the area’s natural wonders, don’t miss the Cenghen Waterfall, cascading down from the slopes of Mount Grigna. The trail leading to it is easy and suitable for everyone, including children, and offers a peaceful oasis surrounded by unspoiled nature.
For mountain lovers, Abbadia Lariana’s hiking trails lead up to the Piani Resinelli, located 1,300 meters above sea level at the foot of the Grigna. Here, nature reigns supreme, revealing its charm in every season. A visit to the Piani Resinelli Mines is a must — a fascinating and family-friendly excursion led by expert guides who share the area’s stories and secrets.
In Abbadia Lariana, culture and nature blend perfectly. In the heart of the village stands the Silk Museum, inaugurated in 1998 — a must-see for anyone interested in discovering the region’s long silk-making tradition. The museum offers an interactive and engaging experience, showcasing original machinery and illustrating the entire silk production cycle through guided tours that bring history to life.
The Larian cuisine is a delightful combination of lake and mountain flavors. Alongside traditional mountain dishes like polenta taragna and polenta uncia, you’ll find the area’s signature dish: the mixed fried fish of the lake, featuring whitefish, perch, agoni, and small fry.
These specialties can be savored in the many typical restaurants along the lakeshore, where the view enhances every meal.
In Abbadia Lariana, you can truly experience it all — nature, relaxation, sports, adventure, and gastronomy — in perfect harmony between tradition and discovery.
