About this experience
See what lies beyond Bellagio by bike! This 35km tour is a great way to see the lakeside and mountainous scenery above and around Bellagio. There are 2 long hill climbs in the tour, so we suggest using an electric bike to make the experience more enjoyable. We have Bianchi road, MTB, and e-bikes available.
During the tour, we stop at a few viewpoints and at the Madonna del Ghisallo (cycling chapel) and neighboring museum. After the tour we enjoy lunch together in front of our shop.
