Lake Como, Italy has all the ingredients to make for the perfect holiday.

You can obtain a basic map of the area from any of the local tourist offices (located in most villages, Griante, Menaggio, Varenna etc). If you are planning to explore further afield and plan to be climbing mountains, then you will certainly need a more detailed map of the area.

Kompass maps are excellent if you require a detailed map of walks/climbs of various abilities. They show the heights of the mountains and also mountain-top villages that are not usually on the more basic maps of the area. You can purchase them via the internet but most newsagents (tabbacheria) and book shops in Lake Como sell them.

The Kompass map you will require for Lake Como is No.91.
