그란테 최고의 사이클링 경로

Villa Carlotta is a prestigious historic residence from the late 17th century: the harmonious blend of art and nature attracts an average of over 1,000 visitors per day each year. The complex includes a museum filled with masterpieces (by Canova, Thorvaldsen, Hayez) and an immense 70,000-square-meter botanical garden, famous for its spring blooms of azaleas and rhododendrons.

The city center is located on the lakefront, around the Piazza del Duomo, one of the most appreciated monuments in northern Italy. The historic center still retains the appearance of the original Roman castrum, with well-preserved medieval walls and large defense towers.

Definitely crowded in summer

Nice route

The Lago di Piano Nature Reserve house houses a small museum and is a good starting point for a hike around the lake. Cyclists can pick up a circular route brochure in Italian and English at home.

beautiful little lake

Varenna is the hub for ferries on Lake Como. Taking bicycles is no problem, but the seating directly at the loading ramp takes some getting used to. Prices are moderate, e.g.: Varenna-Belaggio 🧍🏻‍♂️+🚲=€5.60.

A real highlight with a great view of the lake from the tunnel
