Discovering the three lakes by bike

Come and discover the beauties and breathtaking landscapes that only the lake has to offer. together we will discover the old disused railway that connected Menaggio to Porlezza, being able to enjoy the charm of not one but three lakes: Lake Como, Lake Piano and Lake Lugano (Ceresio). On this route we will be able to admire the historic centers of the small villages that characterize the valleys bordering the three lakes and we will stop at the most beautiful panoramic points. In order to make sure that you can fully enjoy the nature and the territory that we will visit, I studied a route that could immerse us as much as possible in nature and local culture; looking for roads and itineraries with little traffic and little tourism. Another key factor in choosing this tour is the fact that I fully experience, all year round, the places we will visit during the tour and I would like to convey the love I feel for my lake riding the best means of transport there is; the bicycle.
