Como-Bellagio Ridge

An alternation of plains and slopes, stretches that wind along farm roads, paths that intertwine between mountain trails and panoramic views suspended between woods and lake.

The Dorsale, 33 km with a Hard difficulty level for mountain bikes, starts from the city and has as its first stop Brunate, a small village at 600m above sea level watched over by the Volta lighthouse, a commemorative monument built in honour of the physicist Alessandro Volta, born in Como.

The itinerary continues, after passing the Baita Carla, towards Monte Bollettone to reach the Bocchetta di Lemna: a beech forest and breathtaking views of Caslino d'Erba and the Resegone and Palanzone mountains leads to Pian del Tivano, 957 m above sea level, a suggestive karst basin on the slopes of Monte San Primo.

From here you cycle through steep meadows that alternate with wooded areas, views of the Grigne, the Corni di Canzo and the Torno Valley; among mountain maples and the first descents here is Rovenza, a hamlet of Bellagio and the final stage of our tour.

From the villages of Brogno and Bregola you then reach the Mulini del Perlo...now there is little left to have arrived at the Pearl of the Lake: the wonder before your eyes, the nature that you will have caressed, the views, the peaks and the satisfaction of not having given up we are sure will make the tiredness in your legs a pleasure to seek again!
