Recently, Lake Como has been popularized as the second home of George Clooney, but Lake Como is home of several Pro riders and has long been one of the premier cycling destinations in Italy for its many riding choices, its tranquility and beauty found around every corner.

Lake Como, in Northern Italy’s Lombardy region, is an upscale resort area known for its dramatic scenery, set against the foothills of the Alps. The lake is shaped like an upside-down Y, with three slender branches that meet at the beautiful town of Bellagio. At the bottom of the southwest branch lies the city of Como, home to several examples of Renaissance architecture.
The most popular ride here is the Madonna del Ghisallo, part of the Giro di Lombardia and also featured many times in the Giro d’Italia (in the 102 giro of 2019 it will be part of a crucial stage).

On the top there are the cyclists church and a spectacular cycling museum, home to many bikes and cycling jerseys of famous riders of the history and of today. You can also buy cycling clothes!

Moving towards Morbegno and Chiavenna, you can ride up San Marco, Spluga or Maloja. In other words, for fans of uphill cycling, Valtellina is the max!

The “Sentiero Valtellina” is a trail that, with the “Ciclabile della Valchiavenna” cycle path, totals nearly 150 km in length, covering almost the entire breadth of both Valtellina and Valchiavenna.
Norther from Lake Como as far as Chiavenna and on to the Swiss border, while to the east it reaches Morbegno, Sondrio, Tirano and Grosio, right the very limits of the upper Valtellina.
