Torno

A village worth discovering on Lake Como

Overlooking Lake Como, Torno is a village best explored at a leisurely pace. From the small harbour, the streets of the historic centre wind their way upwards amongst stone houses, small squares and views that open out onto the water. It is a lovely place both for a stroll lasting a few hours and as a base from which to explore the lake and its surroundings.

There’s no need for a packed itinerary here: you can linger along the lakeside promenade, wander through the narrow alleys, discover the village’s churches and choose a scenic route to continue your day.

What to see in Torno

The small harbour and the Church of Santa Tecla

The small harbour is a natural starting point for your walk. The boats, the houses overlooking the water and the view of the lake immediately convey the character of Torno. Near the shore stands the Church of Santa Tecla: take a moment to admire the square and the scenery before continuing towards the historic centre.

The streets of the village and the Church of San Giovanni

As you move away from the lakeside promenade, you’ll come across narrow passageways, stairways and corners that invite you to change direction and look around. Further up is the Church of San Giovanni, another stop on your journey to discover the town’s history. The walk between the two churches allows you to see Torno from different perspectives, from the water to the inner streets.

Walking trails in the surrounding area

If you enjoy walking, Torno also offers the chance to leave the town centre and head up into the countryside behind it. Among the routes worth exploring are the trails leading to the Massi Avelli and sections of the historic Strada Regia. Before setting off, choose a route suited to the time you have available, check the condition of the trails and make sure you wear suitable footwear.

A walk to discover Torno

You can start at the small harbour and the Church of Santa Tecla, then make your way through the streets of the town centre to the Church of San Giovanni. On your way back, choose a different route through the narrow streets and stop by the lakeside to admire the town from the water.

Those wishing to spend more time in the area can add a scenic walk or set off by boat to explore other towns on Lake Como. In this way, Torno becomes both a destination in its own right and a starting point for further excursions.

How to get to Torno and get around Lake Como

Torno is situated near Como and can be reached by road and, depending on the available services, by boat. Once you arrive, the historic centre is best explored on foot: the best way to take in the details is to stroll at a leisurely pace between the small harbour, the churches and the village streets.

If you’re planning a trip on the lake, check the latest timetables from Navigazione Laghi before you set off, as routes and frequencies vary throughout the year.
