Τα 3 καλύτερα ορεινά περάσματα Bee

a classic from the Varese area. It's worth it.

Entrance to the panoramic military road. This runs at a height of about 1250 meters and thus about 1000 meters above Lake Maggiore. Therefore, when the weather is good, there are fantastic views of the lake.

A beautiful climb leads to this pass, which is very famous among bikers in the area and also beautiful for a nice cycling trip. There are no views from the pass, but the two roads that lead to it are very scenic with views of the lakes!

The Cuvignone pass, located at an altitude of 1,050 meters, connects Valcuvia with Luinese. This pass can be reached from three different sides: the most famous is the one that starts from Cittiglio, the town where Alfredo Binda was born. Various hiking trails start from the pass that allow you to admire Lake Maggiore.

The road from Cittiglio to Passo Cuvignone has a few strips where the asphalt has been scraped out. It's totally doable on the bike but you have to take it easy not to damage your front wheel. Some short parts are 16-17%, according to my Garmin. During the descent towards San Michele you have to look out as there are many small rocks/stones on the road, as well as some twigs here and there. Great ride though, partially forest with some great views.

Super panoramic road over Lake Maggiore

Phenomenal pass

This is the crossroads from where, on the right, the dirt road of the panoramic military road Cadorna that leads to the tunnels of Monte Morissolo starts. Continuing on the left, you can proceed towards Colle from where you can take other sections of the Cadorna road.
