The view of Lake Iseo and Corna Trentapassi from Riva di Solto is one of the most spectacular and iconic sights in the entire Sebino area, characterized by the sharp contrast between the blue waters of the lake and the steep surrounding rock faces.

Rather unknown pass, although it has already hosted the Giro. The small road has hardly any significant car traffic and is fantastic for cycling.

A fantastic section on Lake Iseo - the old road is now reserved exclusively for cyclists and pedestrians - you can't ride any more beautifully!

Lake Iseo offers spectacular panoramic views, ideal for trekking and photography. The best spots include Corna Trentapassi (1244m) for a 360° panorama, the Parzanica viewpoint, the Eremo di San Defendente, and the summit of Monte Guglielmo. Monte Isola and the Piramidi di Zone also offer unique views. And let's not forget the view from above over Pisogne.

With its vast main square and lively historic center full of venues, Pisogne is one of the favorite destinations to relax with a drink overlooking the lake and a dinner with friends. For those who love walking surrounded by the lake breeze, the beautiful lakeside promenade is highly recommended, which leads from the station and the Pisogne lido to the new walkway overlooking the lake in the Govine area. A charming path suspended over the water for safe movement, guarded by an excellent guardian: the white monument of the Trojan Horse, one of Pisogne's symbols and a must-stop for a selfie with friends!

Ciclabile Vello Toline. I did it for the first time today, wonderful. Monte Altissimo, Strada della Forra, Tremalzo and Vello Toline are the routes that left me speechless. Absolutely worth trying.
