Route Highlights
Como — Departure
We set off from the heart of Como along the historic Via Regina, one of the most scenic lakeside roads in the region. The city's medieval walls, cathedral, and waterfront promenade set the perfect tone for the adventure ahead.
Cernobbio
A few easy kilometers bring us to Cernobbio, home of the legendary Villa d'Este. We stop at Piazza Risorgimento to take in the lake views and capture some photos before continuing north.
Moltrasio — Optional Coffee Stop
One of the most authentic villages on the lake. Stone houses, narrow alleys, small harbors with classic wooden boats. A perfect place to pause for an espresso before the Swiss crossing.
Switzerland — Panoramic Route
We cross the border and follow peaceful roads through forests, vineyards, and Swiss villages. Spectacular views open up over Lake Lugano and the surrounding Alps — a unique combination of Italian warmth and Swiss elegance.
Wine Tasting at a Private Winery
Back in Italy, we stop at a beautiful private winery for a guided tasting of locally produced wines — including an outstanding red that reflects the character of the region — accompanied by a selection of traditional local specialties.
Return to Como — by Van
No need to pedal back. Your e-bikes are loaded onto the support van, and you relax for the transfer back to Como — the perfect ending to an unforgettable day.
