This cache by rosadimacchia has been found by very few geocachers but it is really worth coming to visit this monumental tree hidden in a remote valley. Among other things, the path to get there is almost flat.

Abete di Vesenda  (Avèzz de Uüsénda)   

First of a small series of caches that speedy166 has dedicated to the Olgiasca peninsula. A beautiful and simple walk that will also allow you to visit the Abbey of Piona, one of the jewels of the territory of Colico.

Belvedere "Olgiasca" 

Here rosadimacchia suggests us a visit to this curious and surprising home; the walk is short and really worth it. I also recommend not to forget the nearby Tower of Signame GC1AJM0

Cà Pipeta

This Gnomo14 letterbox was defined by geocachers with more than 10,000 found the most beautiful cache ever found. I think it's enough to wish to visit it!

CASETTA BEATRICE

The first of a small series of caches that rosadimacchia suggests for a ring tour of the Colmen, an ancient mountain that existed even before the Alps!
Although it reaches modest heights (below 1000 meters a.s.l.) it offers beautiful views and the passing through several well-preserved stone villages.

Colmenn di Dazio -  1 Sul Pian della Selvetta

If you are in Colico you cannot miss a visit to the ruins of the Forte di Fuentes. Plus there's a cache by rosadimacchia :) ...

Forte di Fuentes

Chiavenna is 30 minutes by car from Colico but you can't miss it, it is one of the most beautiful towns from Lecco/Como heading north.
After seeking for the CAMO62 and Luciano51 caches in the town center the invitation is for a walk in the Park of Marmitte dei Giganti, a marvel from a geological and naturalistic point of view.
Here you can seek for this 2006 cache by carlogit and at the same time admire a great panorama.
Be careful not to fall below :D

Il Buddah delle Marmitte dei Giganti

The Sentiero del Viandante starts from Abbadia Lariana and ends in Piantedo. It offers 158 caches hidden by duismeikeuan to those who love long walks.
In my opinion the most beautiful part is the one that goes from #93 to #111, although obviously it deserves to be traveled in its entirety.

Il Sentiero del Viandante

*93*Il Sentiero del Viandante

From Colico it takes about 45 minutes to reach Alpe Giumello. From there, the ascent to the summit of the mountain is short and easy. The view is amazing and in addition there is the Astroluca's cache... not easy but not difficult either :)
While you're there, don't forget about his other cache at the beautiful and lonely little church of Sant'Ulderico GC6XQA1.

La scimmia sul Monte Muggio

This series suggested by rosadimacchia allows you to visit the "small" lake of Mezzola from another point of view.
We are in part in the Natural Reserve of Pian di Spagna and access is not allowed to motor boats so a canoe is needed but there is also the possibility of renting electric boats.
Very long but satisfying adventure!
Watch out for the afternoon winds!

Lago di Mezzola 1° "Acqua e alberi" 

A letterbox lost in the mountains but entertaining in its construction and intuition. Created by Auromicina in collaboration with Gnomo14, it is easily accessible by car.

MARIO "El Pustin" - VAL DI PAI LETTERBOX

Villatico, a neighborhood of Colico, was once very rich in mills, unfortunately now almost totally disappeared. This MolinoMaufet letterbox allows you to see one still active, thanks to the wonderful restoration that has been done.

Molino Maufet Book Exchange & TB Hotel

This 2006 swedenhawk cache is the oldest in the Colico area (administratively, however, mount Legnoncino belongs to the municipality of Dorio).
To get to it (with a 40 minutes walk) there is an easy military road closed to car traffic that offers breathtaking views in any direction!

Monte Legnoncino

This ancient hanging stone village on the Valbregaglia is worth a visit regardless of geocaching, for how much is beautifully preserved.
This cache is a suggestion for a visit by rosadimacchia but along the path that starts from the Acquafraggia Falls you will find along the way the series of Eletab that begins with GC5P1EC and in addition a cache by TiaWild (GC795E3).

Savogno

The Sentiero Valtellina bicycle way could not have started better than with a cache by speedy166, the well known King of the Camouflage :)
And I, as a beginner, had to come back 6 times before I could understand that what I had under my nose was a cache: D

Sentiero Valtellina

This cache by LOCALHOST is hilarious for the contortions you will have to do to grab it: D

Sorico - Il Ponticello

It is worth to do the 1000 (?) steps that lead to this church which, painted in white, shines from afar. If you are lucky enough to find it open you can admire its splendid frescoes otherwise the magnificent panorama is always available: D
And then there's the speedy166 cache to seek for ...

Sorico, San Miro

This cache by irtom requires a great capacity for observation and an equally great patience to capture the decisive detail.

The SUP Chache

I am particularly fond of this rosadimacchia cache because it is the first one I found :)
The place, apart from my personal experience, is truly impressive. Shortly (beginning of June 2019) there will be the possibility of visiting the tower, whose restoration is near the completion.

Torre di Fontanedo

With this cache another wonderful Gnome14 series starts.
They are located along the ancient Via Priula, so you can combine the joy of geocaching with a historical journey.

Via Priula - La miniera dello gnomo

Are you in the upper Como Lake area and among the many caches present here you don't know which to first seek for?
This bookmark list wants to help you. These are the ones that I liked the most, maybe you'll have fun seeking for them too.
I have not considered the most difficult caches to get to on purpose or those nestled between the mountain pastures and peaks; for those who love the mountains the effort to seek for them is always greatly rewarded.

P.S. Of course I have not included my caches :)
