This is the highlight on the cycle path between Lake Como and Lake Lugano. (Between Porlezza and Menaggio) Absolutely great place for a break.

In the suggestive scenery of Val Menaggio, Lake Piano is located in the heart of the regional nature reserve. It is surrounded by fields, reed thickets and a dense green forest that develops on the slopes of Mount Galbiga. It can be a perfect place for a regenerating break while cycling.

Beautiful old Italian town on the shores of Lake Como. It's best to lock your bike at the ferry port (where everyone can see it and it's guarded) and explore the town on foot.
