Monte Tremezzo: Downhill Dreams
​30km 1600m elevation gain

This ride’s descent is without a doubt the best there is on Lake Como. From the top of Monte Tremezzo (1680m a.s.l.) you descend right to the lakeside, all on trails along the old military roads and forts that were built in the early 1900s to defend the Italian-Swiss border against Northern invasions. The views are spectacular. Climb an old mule track to get to the military road or take the cable car up to Pigra from Argegno, to start on a rugged asphalt road with no traffic until the peak! Before descending, take a break at Rifugio Venini for a snack or lunch.
​
*Given the technical difficulty on the descent and potential downhill dangers of this ride we recommend it for very advanced riders or go with a guide*

*The cable car from Argegno to Pigra is an option to skip some of the climb. It is closed on Tuesdays, and there can often be long wait times, we suggest to skip it and climb up, after all, the full-suspension E-MTB is powerful.
