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.
