Lake Como in the winter: the perfect time to visit?

Lake Como has long been a summer destination for those either looking for a longer break or on a day trip from Milan. However, visiting in the winter as we did can provide an alternative view of the lake. Without the crowds, and expensive prices you can feel free to explore this beautiful corner of the country with some places feeling like you’ve got the whole lake to yourself. In addition this can be coupled with a trip to nearby ski resorts such as Foppolo which has lift passes for a bargain €16 per day.
