Gardening firms could be seen tending to mny of the lakeside villas in preperation for the arrival of their owners for springtime. These days everybody seems to be busy with spring-cleaning including the various municipalities; the commune of Griante and Cadenabbia have recently renewed road markings for parking and pedestrian crossings and stop signs. Griante is a popular excursion destination and attracts numerous visitors each year. As Griante and Cadenabbia lie opposite Bellagio, tourists often park their cars and take the ferry boat across the lake to explore the southern shore of Lake Como.
