Itineraries that wind through the blue waters of the Lario and the green valleys covered with woods and flowering meadows; routes that retrace ancient paths and mule tracks once traced by farmers, shepherds, and woodcutters, connecting villages that maintain their beauty intact and their strong connection to the past and tradition.

For easy itineraries, the Pian di Spagna Natural Reserve area in the Upper Lake, the northern part of Lake Como, is recommended. Between Menaggio and Dongo, a route has been marked that uses in many sections the road abandoned after the construction of various tunnels, but it is of a more challenging level and is not recommended for families with children.
The cycling and pedestrian path between Menaggio and Porlezza that follows the route of the former railway is accessible between Porlezza and Bene Lario and is perfect for young cyclists.

There are also numerous trails to tackle by mountain bike: in the North Lake Como area, the itineraries alternate between woods and rows of vines; in Valsassina, the itineraries are more complex, not to mention the trails that cross the mountains of the Larian Triangle, which are perfect for training legs and lungs with challenging climbs and breakneck descents.
Finally, Lake Como is committed to sustainable mobility through cycle tourism that ensures respect and complete enjoyment of the territory. Lake Como is part of the attractions of the CicloVia dei Laghi, which covers the territories of Varese, Como, Lecco, Lake Maggiore, and part of Canton Ticino in Switzerland.
