Highlight • Viewpoint

This is a strategic point from which to observe the entire lake of Como. I advise you to make a small stop to take a souvenir photograph before leaving.

It seemed to Max that he was already in Germany. Good coffee by the way, next time again ...

August 29, 2024,Colico - Morbegno - Abbazia di Piona - Colico 🚴‍♂️

Stunning route, pure relaxation. Part of the route is a dirt road, however marked.
In this route some sections with slopes from 10% to 14%

To reach Abbazia di Piona, about 2 km of cobbled pavement, not really suitable for a BDC. But it's okay, it's part of the historical context 😃

The Valtellina is a must. You can drive to Bormio car-free and have wonderful views of the side valleys. Morbegno is a nice, not so touristy town with lots of places to stop and have nice little shops.

We really like Morbegno, it's not that touristy, but it has everything your heart desires. Very nice shops, fresh pasta, cafes and small restaurants with excellent cuisine. We feel right at home here.

A little bit of dolce vita is part of a holiday in Italy and we really enjoyed the delicious food in Morbegno and the stroll through town.
