This is the main bike route that connects the camping and Porlezza to menaggio, on the Como lake. Accessible by everyone, this path was constructed on the remains of the old railway that in the 19th century transported commuters along this way. It is mostly flat, except for the final stretch towards Menaggio which can be a bit steep and is only recommended for more fit cyclists or people with e-bikes.
