Explore Valle Intelvi, a wonderful green natural area between lake Como and lake Lugano with our panoramic guided e-bike tour.
Amazing panoramic views on lake Lugano, typical north-italian lunch and a visit to a local farm are waiting for you!!
The tour leads with the rental of electric bicycles, heading toward the Alta Valle Intelvi. You will travel along a scenic road offering views of the town of Porlezza, located on Lake Lugano. In the area of Lanzo Intelvi, you can enjoy the tranquility of nature while cycling past beautiful early 20th-century Art Nouveau (Liberty-style) villas.
After taking in another spectacular view passing by the old funicular, you will ascend Mount Sighignola, known as the "Balcony of Italy" (il Balcone d'Italia). Its magnificent panoramic terrace overlooks Lake Lugano and the city of the same name, offering a breathtaking vista that stretches across much of the Swiss Alps, reaching as far as the Po Valley and Lake Maggiore.
Lunch will be served at the mountain refuge at the summit, where you can sample local products and traditional dishes from the Lombardy and Valtellina regions such as polenta with game, Pizzoccheri, mushrooms, cured meats, and local cheeses.
Following lunch, the descent begins. Before returning to the shop, you will visit either an organic blueberry farm or a breeding center for Labrador and Golden Retriever dogs (depending on season and availability).
