Beautiful cycle path directly along the lake.

This church in Arosio was dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The name (from the Hebrew language) means "Who is like God?" He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, occasionally with a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael and Gabriel, and occasionally Uriel is also included - one of the three or four archangels who (according to human belief) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is September 29th.

Beautiful view

A detour here is definitely worth it. The very last part is up a flight of stairs on foot. A little further down is the beautiful cemetery.

To do...very beautiful

The church of Arosio, dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel, is a building dating back to before the year 1000. In the church square you can also admire a fourteenth-century baptistery and the sundial from 1664. Near the church there is one of the few fountains in the area.

The Capuchin monastery was founded in 1535 as the first of its kind in Switzerland. The complex is laid out in terraces and has been expanded several times over the centuries. The chapel by architect Mario Botta is also worth seeing. Today three brothers still live in the Convento del Bigorio. You can find more information about the monastery at: bigorio.ch/de/kloster

Close to Alpe Maria Santa, the area is very beautiful on a naturalistic level and offers a crossroads. Once the asphalt is over, any other route you choose is dirt, therefore not suitable for all bikes. Mostly they are wide forest roads but at some connection points there are paths that may require pushing the bike.
