May 22, 2022,valle d'Intelvi anello da Como.

The stretch along the lakefront is very busy. The climb up to Sanfedele d'Intelvi is demanding. Unfortunately, on Sundays there is a chaos of cars here too. In San Fedele you can turn right and go to the Pigra, with a viewpoint. If you have any you can get to the Balcony of Italy. Midweek should be a spectacular ride.
