The Ghisallo hill (Ghisall in Lombard) is a road pass that connects Valassina with the upper part of the Lariano Triangle. The crossing point, at an altitude of 754 m above sea level, is part of the municipality of Magreglio. A few meters from the pass there is a small church: the sanctuary of the Madonna del Ghisallo. Its name (according to an ancient legend) derives from a certain Ghisallo who in medieval times was attacked by bandits in that place and made a vow to the Madonna to build a church in his honor if he escaped. The sanctuary of the Madonna del Ghisallo The Ghisallo climb (from the north side) is traditionally covered by the Giro di Lombardia and has also been included several times in the route of the Giro d'Italia. For this reason, the Madonna del Ghisallo is particularly venerated by cyclists, and on the initiative of the then parish priest Don Ermelindo Viganò (1906–1985), in 1949 Pope Pius XII proclaimed her the universal patroness of cyclists. Next to the sanctuary you can find the Cycling Museum and the "Monument to the cyclist", designed and created by Elio Ponti, sculptor from Ponzate, Como. Source: Wikipedia

Ghisallo, half of Lombard cycling

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
