This route takes you from Lugano to Como. You’ll ride through charming villages, dense forests, and the crystal-clear waters of the lake Lugano and Lake Como. And don’t worry, this is not an easy flat ride around the lake. Be ready for a challenging climb from the Lugano lake at (280m above the Sea) to San Fedele Intelvi (776m above the Sea) where you will have some breathtaking view above the Lake.

Without a doubt this is one of my favourite road cycling routes in Lugano. The route is challenging but beautiful, it has some hard hills with up to 20% gradient (don’t worry is a short section) but also some flat lake side roads where you can push or enjoy the scenery. The route takes you from Lugano to small Ticinese towns that will keep you distracted all the time. Among many beautiful places you’ll pass Morcote which is considered one of the most beautiful village in Switzerland.
