Description

A unique MTB experience that takes inspiration from the famous 'Scenic Lakes Loop,' now in an off-road version! This route guides you along dirt paths and gravel roads, offering an adventurous and immersive alternative to the traditional road version. There are no particularly technical sections, making it accessible even for less experienced riders, though the off-road terrain still requires a good level of endurance. The route reaches Porlezza, on the shores of Lake Lugano, a perfect spot to take a break. Here, you can stop for a coffee or, why not, enjoy lunch with a lake view before continuing your ride. On the way, before descending toward Menaggio, we also recommend a stop at the Vecchia Chioderia, an excellent spot for fish lovers. They farm fresh trout, cooked on the spot, offering a truly authentic gastronomic experience in a charming setting. This tour combines nature, adventure, and local flavors, perfect for those looking to explore Lake Como and Lake Lugano in a unique and unforgettable way!
