Cycling Tour through Como Lakeshore Villages and Swiss Vineyards
Lake Como, Italy
About This Activity
Join a small group or private cycling tour that follows the western shore of Lake Como south from Como town through the chestnut-shaded villages of Laglio (where George Clooney's Villa Oleandra sits behind its gates), Moltrasio, and Cernobbio before climbing to the Swiss border at Chiasso. The 20-30 mile route traverses moderate hills and passes through Ticino's Merlot vineyards for a tasting stop at a local estate. Road bikes, helmets, and a support van are included. Approximately €180-200 per person for a private guided tour.
Seasonal note: Best in spring and autumn when temperatures are cooler for cycling
