Tips

Allegedly the most popular climb in the Lake Como area, it's a bucket-list destination for all grimpeurs. The side from Bellagio (probably the harder one) averages 4.5% gradient which is really misleading due to a stretch of flat (even downhill) section about half-way through: don't get fooled and come with adequate gearing! When the climb goes up, it's consistently around 9-10%! At the top, in addition to stunning views, you'll get rewarded with the possibility of visiting the little church filled with bike memorabilia and the cycling museum. From the top, you can choose to go back down towards the lake, or continue uphill to Superghisallo, Piano Rancio, and Muro di Sormano
