Au programme
This fantastic circular route delivers it all: hidden villages, rustic charm, spectacular lake views, quiet mountain roads to cycle, and a stop on Lake Lugano.
Leaving busy Lake Como behind, we wind our way into the Val Sanagra nature reserve – lying just above Menaggio, it is one of the lake’s best-kept secrets. Step back in time as we pass evocative stone houses and old water mills dotted along the banks of a gentle mountain stream. We take a slow cycle further into the mountains, passing historic villages and grassy green fields, and generally enjoying the peace and quiet before the fun begins! A glorious, shady downhill with stunning views guides us onto the shores of Lake Lugano. An effortless cycle to Lake Piano gives us the chance to unwind along the quiet country roads that become our playground.
Today's route will be familiar to locals but would be difficult to plan without a guide. My added touch is to tell you about the many intriguing stories of this area, from the old railway that used to pass by, to hidden WW1 trences, and the life of smugglers that would travel at the dead of night through the mountains that are today's backdrop.
Tour duration: 3 - 3,5 hours
Distance: 35 km
Technical difficulty: Low - Short stretches of gravel road with low technical difficulty. Non-technical uphills and downhills.
Physical exertion: Medium

I am a qualified mountainbike guide and writer. I have written books about my travels hiking and cycling around Italy. The things I have seen and the amazing experiences I have had travelling this way convinced me to give up my office job in public relations and follow my passion full-time. I have cycled nearly every region of Italy (with clients and alone), from lakes, to seas, to unbelievable mountain passes which has also confirmed for me that Italy is truly a remarkable country and her natural beauty and culture are what I want to share with visitors. There is no better way to do this than on the back of a bicycle.
I also have 9 years experience as a volunteer first responder for the Red Cross, trained in administering CPR and First Aid.

Luigi is een vriendelijke gastheer met veel persoonlijke aandacht voor zijn gasten. Wij hebben enorm genoten van de prachtige route tussen de drie meren, door mooie natuur en oude dorpjes. De elektrische mountainbikes maakten het gemakkelijk om hellingen op en af te gaan. Deze fietstocht is echt een aanrader!

A brilliant, original airbnb experience! Starting in a small, charming village up in the hills high above lake como, the tour takes you up into the mountains and through many picturesque villages and stunning viewpoints. Luigi was very chatty and had great knowledge about the 3 lakes and surrounding areas. The Ebikes provided were new and very easy and fun to use.

Emily e Luigi sono due Host magnifici. Sono molto cordiali e professionali e rispettano tutte le norme igieniche richieste dalla pandemia del COVID.
Raggiungere la location è semplicissimo, ad aspettarci abbiamo trovato Luigi. Ottima accoglienza sia da parte sua che da Emily. Sbrigate alcune formalità burocratiche e di spiegazioni sull'uso della ebike (attività velocissime e semplicissime), siamo partiti per questa pedalata in luoghi davvero affascinanti. Luigi è una guida esperta, conosce bene i luoghi e le storie di quei luoghi. Si è creato subito il giusto clima per fare una pedalata in amicizia. Abbiamo visto alcuni scorci nascosti che senza di lui non avremmo saputo trovare. Ci siamo fermati più volte per qualche minuto di ristoro, fare qualche foto, o per bere un caffè. A riprova del servizio ineccepibile Luigi era prontissimo con disinfettante e cerotti per curare un piccolo graffio... davvero super. Le ebike fornite sono molto belle, nuove, superaccessoriate (portapacchi, portacellulare) e sono davvero una svolta, io ho potuto fare più di 30 km di cui buona parte in salite ripide, potendo scegliere quanto sforzo fare: è una passeggiata anche per chi non pedala da anni.
Al ritorno Emily ci aspettava con bibite fresche e ghiaccioli.
E' stata una esperienza bellissima, che sicuramente rifaremo. Consiglio a tutti di provare.
Un grazie ancora ad Emily e Luigi.

I and my son (20) had a fine trip to experience the lakes and mountains.
We are both experienced bikers but first time on an E-Bike. Its was very easy to
learn (2 mins) and the E-bikes made it a relaxing and fun trip, and the paths was not difficult.
Luigi is friendly and experienced and easy to understand during the trip.
He informs about sights etc and are helpful for photo stops, water, and a nice drinks stop ;-)
We got good insight into the locations on the way from him and we travelled on paths which would
have been difficult to find alone as a tourist.
Interesting trip and well worth the hours spend
