The tour at a glance
Looking for a cycling holiday on Lake Como that combines history, nature and picture-perfect scenery?
The Lario is one of Europe's most extraordinary cycling destinations — iconic climbs, villages perched on the water, Liberty villas and roads that seem made for riding!
Cycling on Lake Como is an experience every cyclist should have at least once in their life, and we are ready to take you on an unforgettable 3-day tour through this magical territory!
Tour itinerary
We kick off with a Shake-Down Ride: the perfect way to get to know each other, find the right rhythm and get a feel for the territory before the real adventure begins!
Day two is the one every cyclist dreams of: Bellagio and the Ghisallo, with its legendary climb and the Cycling Museum — the true sanctuary of cycling that attracts enthusiasts from around the world!
We close in style with a full loop around Lake Lugano, riding between Italy and Switzerland through Ticino villages and breathtaking scenery!
☀️ Climate and Best Time to Visit: Lake Como is a wonderful cycling destination almost all year round, but the ideal time to ride is between April and October, when temperatures are mild and the roads are at their finest. September is the golden month: the days are still long and sunny, the summer heat gives way to perfect cycling temperatures and the lake takes on the first colours of autumn — a sight that is worth the trip alone!
🍷 Typical food and wines: Lake Como is not just breathtaking scenery — it is also a land rich in authentic flavours and gastronomic traditions rooted in the history of the territory. From missoltini, the typical dried fish of the Lario, to pizzoccheri from the nearby Valtellina; from the extra virgin olive oil produced on the shores of the lake to the cheeses of the surrounding valleys. All accompanied by the wines of nearby Franciacorta and Valtellina — the perfect way to round off every ride with the authentic taste of this extraordinary territory!
🧭 Soil type: The Lake Como Week-End Escape routes are predominantly on paved roads, combining flat lakeside stretches with challenging climbs on high-quality tarmac. A perfect territory for road bikes!
🎮 Extra activities for non-cycling guests: Lake Como offers extraordinary experiences even for those who prefer not to ride. From historic villas to explore, medieval villages to wander through, shopping in Como's historic centre and lakeside restaurants, the days fly by even off the bike!
- For those who still want to experience the territory on the move, we recommend our Slow Ride — the E-Bike tour through Como's historic centre and lakefront, ending with an aperitivo in Cernobbio: the perfect way to enjoy the lake without missing out on the adventure!
