Jewels of the Alps - Italy’s Great Lakes: Lake Como

Among the Upper Italian lakes, it is considered the most dazzling: Lake Como. George Clooney and other celebrities reside in the multi-million dollar villas with lake access. But Lake Como has much more to offer. This episode of the series "Beyond the Alps" shows it from its wild side, reveals its importance as a habitat for animals and plants, and introduces people whose lives are closely interwoven with this natural space.
