Overview
Join us for this pilgrimage, a scenic and meaningful ride from Bellagio to the legendary Madonna del Ghisallo Cycling Chapel and Ghisallo Cycling Museum, the spiritual heart of Italian cycling. Our guided tour takes you along a route of winding switchbacks that reveal new views of Lake Como at every turn. The ascent from Bellagio is the official climb of the Giro di Lombardia, a route steeped in cycling history and tradition. Since 1919, this climb has tested champions and inspired countless riders -- a true pilgrimage for anyone passionate about cycling. At the summit, we visit the Madonna del Ghisallo Sanctuary, dedicated to the patron saint of cyclists, and the Cycling Museum, where you'll discover memorabilia, stories, and artifacts that celebrate over a century of Italian cycling culture.
