State Road 340 of Lake Como: one of the most beautiful roads in Europe

Traveling on the Queen between history, villages and enchanted landscapes is comparable to the American dream of traveling on route 66.

Called "Queen" in honor of Queen Teodolinda, the State Road 340 of Lake Como was chosen as one of the most beautiful roads in Europe by 14,000 travelers interviewed at the end of 2022 in a survey launched by a well-known brand of satellite navigators.

La Regina allows you to enjoy unique experiences for those  tourists who, by car or motorbike, decide to travel along this panoramic road that winds entirely through the province of Como ending up in Switzerland with a branch, the State Road 340 dir, which from Menaggio allows get to the gates of Val Chiavenna.

Precisely on this route we recommend traveling to discover the wonders of the lake, crossing historic villages such as Laglio, Brienno, Argegno or Sala Comacina in which to discover the historical and architectural beauties of the area, such as the Church of the Madonna del Ronco and the eighteenth-century villas including Villa Beccaria, inserted in a park that slowly slopes towards the lake, until you reach Menaggio and continue on the variant that leads to Domaso, Vercana, Gera Lario and Sorico.

Going up along the western bank of the Alto Lario, you can walk along a tortuous but suggestive stretch of a road that ideally connects the lake to the mountain. Lario and Val Chiavenna: different stories, customs, flavors and traditions that only in a territory as rich as that of Lake Como can continue to coexist and remain indelibly imprinted in the stories of travelers who have traveled the via Regina.
