Overview

This fantastic route delivers it all: hidden villages, rustic charm, spectacular lake views, and a stop on Lake Lugano. We ride down to the Val Sanagra nature reserve – lying just above Menaggio, it is one of the Lake Como's best-kept secrets. Pass evocative stone houses and old water mills. Ride uphill through the historic villages of Velzo and Naggio, surrounded by green fields. Weave through charming village squares untouched by time and tourism. Enjoy a glorious downhill ride on an original medieval road. Stunning views guide us onto the shores of Lake Lugano before we cycle to Lake Piano along the old railway line that once connected Lake Como to Lake Lugano and is now a pretty cycle path, to complete our loop back in the Renaissance hamlet of Cardano. The ride is a mini adventure with simple gravel road, uphills, downhills, narrow village paths - General agility and confidence on a bike are required. An e-bike is a normal geared bicycle with battery assistance.

Meeting points

Meet in our office in Via San Rocco, 20 m from the square of Piazza Manzoni. You will see a large yellow church as you approach the square. Easy free parking available. Pick up from Menaggio ferry station available on request only and paid on-site.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

  • Grandola ed Uniti (Pass By)

    We start our tour from the Renaissance hamlet of Cardano. Ride the narrow cobbled alleyways past the Bagatti Valsecchi villa that stills belongs to this noble Milanese family. The small agricultural villages we visit are composed of narrow paths with tight turns requiring agility and confidence on a geared bike.

  • Museo Etnografico E Naturalistico Val Sanagra (Pass By)

    Ride a relatively steep downhill section into the Val Sanagra nature reserve to discover the valley stream that gave life to a number of mills and is home to gorgeous stone houses and ancient stone bridges.

  • N/A (Pass By)

    Ride uphill into the hamlet of Velzo, surrounded by grape vines and immersed in mountain scenery. Traverse the village following the original narrow alleyways including a few tight turns.

  • Piazza Maggiore (Pass By)

    We enter Naggio, another typical mountain village with a beautifully preserved square, before preparing for a gorgeous, panoramic downhill ride (at times steep) to get our first glimpse of Lake Lugano.

  • Carlazzo (Pass By)

    We ride the back roads to find hidden frescoes and continue on the original medieval road which includes downhill sections of easy gravel.

  • Lungolago Porlezza

    Cycle through the historic centre of this lakeside town with it's speciality food stores. Stop right on the beach and have a coffee or ice-cream in the area. The homeward journey passes the scenic nature reserve of Lake Piano. Follow the old railway line passing expansive green fields, stables and farmsteads until we reach Cardano where the tour ends. This stretch of cycle path is the only flat section of the tour.

Highlight of our trip to Italy. Highly recommend!

Published on Oct, 2024

Luigi (our guide) was so kind, helpful and knowledgeable. We had an amazing time. It felt like we were "off the beaten path" and saw parts of Italy that your average tourist wouldn't experience. Luigi also treated us to coffee in a small village where he knew and introduced us to the local people in the shop. The views were amazing. The equipment was new and top notch. Traveled with husband and adult daughter and we all agreed this was the highlight of our trip.

Breathtakingly Beautiful Experience!!

Published on Oct, 2024

Seriously, one of the highlights of our entire trip! Luigi was our guide and he was so knowledgeable of routes. Took us to just gorgeous scenery! This is a Must Do!

So much fun

Published on Sep, 2024

Just a fun bike tour. Mostly on bike trails and off the beaten path so now worries of traffic or cars. Beautiful vistas

Incredible bike tour!

Published on Sep, 2024

Luigi and Emily were incredibly accomodating, despite ferry delaying arrival by 15-20 minutes. They are expert in meeting the needs of the bikers and providing breathtaking views and incredible bike routes that give expansive views of the lakes as well as historical understanding throughout. Highly highly (twice) recommend this bike tour with this company, we cannot wait to go again! Both incredible exercise, great tour, and great company - they are expert!

Exceptional ride through Como countryside

Published on Aug, 2024

This was a wonderful tour through the countryside. The e-bikes were well-powered for the hilly terrain and our guide, Luigi, was informative and fun to be with. It was a perfect activity for a family with teens.
