Lake Como Bike Routes & Maps

All Bike It! Routes
Here is a collection of all of our biking routes for Lake Como: road cycling routes, MTB routes, and family biking routes, and nearly all of them can be ridden on an electric bike!  Check out some of our most popular routes here: Most Popular Routes.
See our route-type specific pages for more info. Some routes require a ferry to start/end on another side of the lake (the ferry can be taken to/from any of the central lake towns: Bellagio, Varenna, Menaggio/Cadenabbia).

Riding Conditions: Take a look at the current weather forecast in Bellagio to prepare for your trip! We also explain road and traffic conditions during high and low season, and what gear to pack!
