Embark on a unique mountain biking adventure along the Tracciolino and Monte Sant'Elia Loop, a moderate route that takes you through a historic former railway carved into the rock face. You will navigate 22 tunnels and be rewarded with magnificent panoramic views over Lake Mezzola and Lake Como. This 25.0 miles (40.3 km) journey, with 2321 feet (707 metres) of elevation gain, typically takes around 3 hours and 2 minutes to complete.
When planning your ride, be aware that while the overall difficulty is moderate, some sections are rated S2 on the Singletrack Difficulty Scale. This means you might encounter parts requiring advanced riding techniques or even dismounting. A flashlight is highly recommended for safely navigating the numerous tunnels, and you should be prepared for a very steep but generally rideable final section.
The Tracciolino Trail is notable for its fascinating history as a railway line, offering a distinctive experience as you pedal through its rock-hewn passages. The route also features the Three Crosses Viewpoint on Monte Sant'Elia, providing another stunning vista. This blend of historical infrastructure and natural beauty makes the loop a standout option for mountain bikers in the region.
