Your Itinerary

Grandola ed Uniti

(Pass by)

Home to the characteristic agricultural hamlet of Cardano, dating back to the Renaissance. Our first stop is the Bagatti Valsecchi villa belonging to a noble Milanese family who used this as their country residence. We cycle the original cobbled paths before heading onto the cycle path which will lead us down to Lake Como.

Griante

(Pass by)

Griante is a characteristic village off the tourist track with panoramic views from two small churches. We will ride in and out of scenic, narrow back roads to get a feel for what life on Lake Como is like for the locals.

Tremezzina

(Pass by)

This area is home to one of the 'borghi piu belli d'Italia' an accreditation for a particularly beautiful small village with historic significance. We will ride the back roads (at times steep) to discover the farms, olive groves and historic village squares. We will trace some of the footprints of the last days of Mussolini as we approach the tiny hamlet of Bonzanigo. We will ride through the porticoes of Bonzanigo before arriving at the Mezzegra church. We descend via a technical stone bikeway that requires some added confidence on a bike.

Parrocchia di S. Abbondio

Ride up to the church to enjoy the view of the Lenno village bay and promontory of the Villa Balbianello. Admire the church and it's position from the outside.

Parco Teresio Olivelli

The park is located right on the lakefront and offers captivating lake views.

Menaggio

Bustling lakefront town with one of the prettiest squares on the lake. We will take some time to enjoy the atmosphere of the square. You will have time for an ice-cream or refreshment before taking the Menaggio cycle path out of the town and into the surrounding countryside on our way back to Cardano.
