Experience

Experiences in the upper Lake Como: water sports and boat tours form our Residence


At Brezza del Lario, your stay includes much more than a bed and a view. We believe the best way to enjoy Lake Como is to live it actively, that’s why we’ve curated a full calendar of experiences and activities that pair with our newest accommodations in Dervio.

Here are our selected activities, available directly through our Experiences page:

Mountain Bike & E-Bike Tours

Explore the Alto Lario by bike, with guided rides through countryside and mountain trails. E-bikes make it easy to enjoy even the hilliest paths. Perfect for nature lovers and groups looking to stay active while enjoying panoramic views.


SUP Rentals & Classes

Stand-up paddleboarding is a great way to discover the Lake at a slow pace. No worries if you’re trying it for the first time or looking to improve your skills, we offer SUP classes with certified instructors; or simple rentals for more independent fun.


Kitesurfing Lessons

Dervio is one of the top locations on the Lake for kitesurfing, thanks to the thermal winds of the northern branch. Lake Como’s adventure-score is usually overlooked, but the Lake is truly a playground for those brave enough to try: join a lesson with a professional kitesurfer and feel the thrill of flying over the water!


Private Boat Tours

Discover Lake Como by water with a private boat tour departing from Dervio or Varenna. Choose from half-day cruises, sunset tours, or a full itinerary to visit villas, towns, and secret corners of the lake. Perfect for proposals, birthdays, or simply a beautiful day out.


Cooking Classes

Led by local chefs, our cooking experiences are an engaging way to learn Italian recipes and spend meaningful time together. Make fresh pasta, traditional dishes, or seasonal menus and sit down to enjoy your own creations at the end of class!


Couples, families, and groups love the activities at Brezza del Lario! The feedback is great and they definitely add value to your time in Lake Como.
