About this experience
A 60 km (35 miles) ride without hard climbs where landscapes are the main targets. We will start riding on the western cost and, in the middle of the ride, we will cross Lake Como by boat: a nice chance to chill out and enjoy the lake right from its essence... water. After a lookout in Bellagio village we will resume the ride on the eastern coast returning to our starting point through some rolling hills with stunning views over the lake.
