I am a huge fan of the north of Lake Como. It’s quieter, more rugged and absolutely beautiful.
Come and join me on a virtual cycle ride from Menaggio to Dongo along the edge of Lake Como, Italy.
It’s an easy, pretty flat route of approximately 13.5kms/8.4 miles taking around 45 minutes.
I started this cycle from Velzo, but started recording this from Menaggio as I guess that’s where most people will start from 🙂
Turn on subtitles/closed captions for useful information and my ponderings throughout the cycle if you’re interested 🙂
