Como Lake, with an area of 146 sq. km. is the third Italian lake for extension after Garda Lake and Lake Maggiore. Its characteristic inverted Y shape is given by the three branches: Colico north, south-east Lecco, Como in the south-west, with a total perimeter of 170Km. The lake is surrounded by mountains of which the highest is Mount Legnone (2609 m.), above Colico. The streams are 37 tributaries, among which the most important is the Adda, followed by Mera. The Adda is also the only outlet, exiting the lake at Lecco and, after forming the lakes of Garlate and Olginate, continues towards the Po river.
