Ossuccio Ossuccio, located on the north-west coast, is approximately 20 km from Como and 8 km from Menaggio. Comancina Island is the only island in the lake. The famous bell tower of Ossuccio may be found on many postcards. There are many opportunities from Ossuccio to go for walks in the higher regions, visit churches, and pass through olive gardens. Water excursions, a visit to the island, the flower gardens, like Balbianello, Tremezzo and Melzi, and farmers’ markets in Como, are only a few of the destinations which are waiting for you. Even a trip to St. Moritz in the Alps, or Venice and Verona are not too far.

Area The natural landscape of the area offers lakes for watersports/swimming and majestic mountains for trekking/mountain biking and the views are xpectacular!

Skiing Information: This region of Italy is not the best for skiing as you may imagine, despite its hills and local mountains. It does however have Skiing opportunites at local resorts for a day out. There is a small ski area on Mt. Lema which is not more than 10 km from Lugano, but you have to be lucky to have enough snow for skiing. In Ticino, the local SWiss Canton, the best places to ski are probably either San Bernardino (south of the pass of the same name) or Airolo (south of Gotthard pass). Both are reachable in about 1 hour by car across the Swiss border. There are direct trains to Airolo as well from Lugano and hence from Italian Stations. To S. Bernardino there is only a bus connection. For more snow try Andermatt (on the north side of Gotthard pass) which has normally good snow conditions and a good choice of runs. Moving back into Italy the nearest serious ski resorts St Moritz or Madesimo which are again over an hour and 1.5 hours drive, once you get the Lakeside.
