Colico-Based Tours

The Sentiero Valtellina begins in Colico and continues 110km+ all the way to Bormio. We follow a scenic section of this famous cycling path. Riding alongside the Adda River, we pass horse and pony stables before entering the beautiful Pian di Spagna Nature Reserve, an important habitat for rare migratory birds.

After crossing the Mera River, we climb briefly through the forest before descending to Sasso di Dascio, a stunning panoramic viewpoint overlooking Lake Novate Mezzola, Val Chiavenna, and Lake Como, where we will enjoy a picnic in the wild.

This tour explores an area of lower Valtellina known as the Costiera dei Cech, which offers a beautiful mix of landscapes. The route climbs through sections of forest and hillside vineyards before descending into an ancient village where we stop to admire the 13th-century Church of Sant'Alessandro.

Leaving the village through its historic archway, we head toward the center of the valley along the Adda River. On the way we stop at a renowned agriturismo known for its local specialties, where we enjoy a relaxing break and local flavors before returning to Lake Como.

Join us for a cycle along the lakeside through the small harbor and on to Montecchio Sud. We arrive at Piona Bay, an evocative natural inlet known for its calm waters, grassy beach, and the view of the nearby Cistercian Abbey of the same name.

We climb toward the giant swing, and follow an ancient cobbled path to reach an olive grove area where we will enjoy a beautiful panoramic view over Lake Como and the Val Chiavenna. Finally, riding along various small roads, we will arrive at the village of the ancient mills before descending back toward the lake.

This tour takes you south from Colico along the shores of Lake Como through rural areas before beginning a climb through the forest. The reward of the climb is several vantage points, where you can admire breathtaking views of the Alps.

After descending, you will reach the medieval village of Corenno Plinio en route to the enchanting Abbey of Piona. This Cistercian monastery is surrounded by olive trees and dates back to 610 AD. It is an unspoiled setting that evokes distant times: a rare gem of Lombard Romanesque architecture.

We ride around the northern shore of Lake Como crossing the Adda and Mera Rivers before cycling through the Pian di Spagna Nature Reserve and continuing south on the lakeside cycling path.

Passing through the historic center of Domaso, we arrive at the Parish Church of San Bartolomeo, a true gem that blends 1000 years of history with beautiful Baroque decoration. The route climbs gently through olive groves and vineyards, leading to Lake Como's only winery, where you can taste the local Domasino wines, known for intense aromas that reflect the character of the surrounding land.
