Additional Information

The myth and the test … amplified by astounding descents and unrivaled scenic outlooks … this is the perfect journey for biking enthusiasts pursuing steep ascensions and iconic routes, epitomizing cycling around Lake Como. Begin with an ascent of Ghisallo, a climb that requires no introduction, and then brace yourself for the formidable Muro di Sormano … ‘the WALL’! At 1.8km, with an 18% average slope and a maximum of 25%, it holds the title for the most difficult cycle route globally! As you ascend, keep your eyes on the road markers indicating the altitude every meter. For three years, from 1960 to 1962, Muro was part of the Giro di Lombardia, after which it was deserted for five decades as it proved increasingly difficult … even for seasoned professionals! However, since 2012, the Muro has been reintroduced to the race. It’s an essential experience! Give it a shot! No stopping allowed!

Best day of our holiday - Carlo, our guide, was amazing. He was kind, thoughtful, caring and always made sure we were happy and comfortable. Loved the route he took us on - simply beautiful and challenging. Bikes were also top notch. They were comfortable to ride and fit perfectly. Staff at shop were also very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend exploring the area by bike and book with “Bike It Bellagio”

Best way to enjoy Lake Como! - This was the best guided bike tour ever. First of all the bikes were top of the line Bianchi. Perfect working order Shoes and helmets included. Our guides took us for 2 days of great riding. I rented a road bike and the Mrs and Ebike. The first day was beautiful scenic rides with stops for historical sites and great vistas. The second day was up the Ghisallo which was tons of fun. The Mrs now wants a new Bianchi….

Fantstic! Amazing Bikes, Amazing People - These guys are amazing! I was in Como for a week, I did one of their tours, which was fantastic on my second day. I also hired a bike for about three days so I could do some amazing rides in the area including the Ghisallo. You can hire fantastic bikes for a good price. Even the 'mid rage' are brand new Bianchi's equipped with Di2. They make sure you are all fitted and set up before you ride off. They have every thing you need at the shop also, clothing, gels, drinks etc. You can do a bunch of ride sections you will see in the Tour de Lombardy and Tour de Italia in the area. Great group of people and I was so lucky this place is there!

Amazing ebike tour - We had an amazing day with Gabriel! Our family of 5 (incl 3 adult children) had a private ebike tour to a winery in Domaso. We took the ferry across the lake and then biked 28km to the northern tip of Lake Como. We stopped along the way for Gabriel to point out key sites. At the winery, we had a wonderful lunch and tasted 3 different kinds of wine. One of the best days of our entire vacation!
