Scenic Route 65 
35km, 1000m elevation gain

For those who love the colorful town of Varenna, travel over from Bellagio on the beautiful ferry ride that offers some of the best views of the quaint town tucked into the hills. Start your ride from the lake shore and head straight up to the peak of one of our most panoramic mountains, where you can take in the beauty of Lake Como and its vast mountain range from a vantage point at 1092 m. The route consists of both paved and dirt roads along the legendary "Scenic Route 65". Before cruising down to the starting point, you’ll have time to get your batteries charged and visit the Grigna Museum, all about one of Lake Como's most famous mountains that's home to 900 caves which have puzzled many speleologists, even Leonardo da Vinci.​ This ride offers low traffic roads and visits to remote towns with incredible views.
