Castello di Vezio

On Friday, 9/29, we hiked up to the castello or castle.  We started the hike from the south from Varenna which turned out to be every bit as challenging as the Pacific Crest Trail.  There were a couple of sections that were so steep we had to steady ourselves by holding on to the rocks on the side of the trail.  Also making the hike a challenge was the humidity.  The haze in the air from warm, moist air was making us very sweaty and difficult to cool off.

The views of Lake Como and Varenna were stunning.  We only wish we had had clear weather.

Below are pictures from the hike and Varenna.
