Starting from Como, we ride past Villa Olmo to reach Cernobbio and Moltrasio. We continue on “the 640”, a lake side road called “Regina” in honour of Teodolinda, Queen of Lombards from 589 to 616 A.D.
After Laglio and George’s Clooney’s lakeside residence, we reach Argegno. Turning to the left, we tackle our first hill of the day. It is an easy six-kilometre climb to get to Schignano where you can admire Comacina Island from the hilltop. After a few kilometres of gentle slopes, we start riding up to Erbonne, a village from the pre-roman age which still has seven residents today. Another beautiful view of the lake and the San Zeno chapel awaits us in Pian delle Alpi.
After some kilometres downhill, we arrive in San Fedele where we take the direction to Pigra on our left. From here, we can enjoy another beautiful panorama right next to the arrival of the cableway.
A long descent takes us back to Argegno and we go back to Como following the same route.
