Meeting Point presence required at: 6.30 PM

Experience the Iconic “Ghisallo” with an Expert Local Cycler

A unique world famous Bespoke ride not to be missed in scenic Lake Como, Italy
We start from the Official Bianchi Bike Shop, after choosing the perfect model (top notch road bikes & e-bikes are available).

Then it’s time to pedal hard –– we go straight up to the peak!

The “ Bellagio – Ghisallo” is approx. 6.5km (4 Miles) with *x meters of vertical climb.

The ride is challenging and exhilarating. (Those looking for an easier workout can enjoy an e-bike.)
Once we reach the peak, you’ll be rewarded with an Amazing Panoramic View and be able to see the famous “Santuario del Ghisallo,” a prized cyclist destination. I will also provide a little top secret surprise for my guests. We will take a little break and then safely cycle back to the lake.

Get a chance to experience history, and feel what it’s like to be a pro cyclist for a day!
The Ghisallo is one of the most feared and legendary climbs of the Giro d’Italia & Giro di Lombardia. Two famous champions have done it many times – Coppi & Bartali.

The ride is approx 1.5 to 2 hours.

We recommend this experience during the afternoon

“Golden Hour” (less car traffic, cooler temperatures, and fabulous photo ops). Ideal for 2-4 guests in order to offer a Unique Bespoke Experience & a high level of safety standards.
