Passo di Monte Tremezzo

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Coming from Osteno on Lake Lugano, we drove up Monte Tremezzo. First you drive uphill on the main road towards Laino. Soon you can then turn left and drive via the towns of Ponna Inferiore/ Ponna di Mezzo and Ponna Superiore in the direction of Monte Tremezzo - all on asphalt but always really steep! Then it continues on gravel/tar, in between it gets flat for a while. When you are out of the forest, you have managed most of the altitude and can enjoy the fantastic view - Lake Como in front and the Swiss mountains in the back - the effort is worth it.

Venini Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

One of the most beautiful refuges in the entire Lario, it is located between Monte Crocione and Monte Galbiga, it is also very beautiful because you can arrive by bicycle via a road that starts from Argegno and which in the last 4 km is of military type.

Great view, then a demanding but wonderful descent via many narrow hairpin bends. Only drive on with good tires, as many sharp-edged stones have to be driven over.

Argegno on Lake Como

Highlight • Settlement

A town of about 670 inhabitants in the province of Como, Argegno is located on the left bank of Lake Como and is known for having, in its territory, the "most vertical" cableway in Italy. In order to connect Argegno to the hamlet of Pigra, in fact, this system reaches a maximum gradient of 95%.

Return route modified on the field, going down a mule track in Rogaro to reach the lakeside of Tremezzo and return to the car (the original track was impassable)

April 15, 2023,Lenno-Monte Tremezzo🏔️🚵🏼‍♂️🤩

There's nothing to complain about again 😎. Easy climb mostly over roads and military roads with many opportunities to stop 🍷🍻. Then followed an awesome descent that easily lasted 45 minutes. Everything top mobile and EVERYTHING!! on fantastic single trails. We're not even talking about the view of Lake Como... (although sometimes there's really no time to look down🤪).
I'll …

The 10th day of the Transalp.

Before heading home tomorrow, today we're going on a tour with light luggage to Monte Galbiga from San Fedele Intelvi. Almost to the summit is on asphalt. The first part is actually very pleasantly uphill and shady. Then it gets steeper and steeper and at the end there is no shade either. As the …

A scenic tour ... but.
The ascent was literally, only partially passable, in no way as described S2. The descent is also extremely demanding. This time I only had real fun over a few km ... and with an unexpected beer on the summit 😁

We start pedaling on the state road that runs along the lake in a southerly direction.
Once we reach Argegno, as we have done on previous excursions, there is the possibility of taking the cable car, recently …

From Tremezzo to Argegno, first a few km south on Lago di Como and then, first on a normal road, to Pigra, later on an old, but now tarred military road 1400 …
