Brunate

Brunate runs along a ridge in Lombardy above the Como branch of Lake Como, a position that made it an upland retreat while keeping it closely connected to the city below. The Funicolare Como–Brunate has climbed between Como and Brunate since 1894, turning a steep ascent into one of the area’s defining journeys. Liberty-style villas recall the town’s early-20th-century resort character, while the Faro Voltiano at San Maurizio commemorates Alessandro Volta. Around Brunate, the lake basin gives way to pre-Alpine slopes. Browse nearby webcams to place Brunate within the wider Lake Como and Lombardy area.
