With our convenient location in the Lake Region of Italy, we are pleased to offer you an exclusive opportunity to ride in both Lake Garda and Lake Como, two scenic lakes in Northern Italy fully infused with cycling culture. One trip – two lakes, where you will truly experience some of the best cycling in Italy.
Embarking on this adventure, you will first explore the famous region of Lake Como. You’ll be in the midst of a dramatic landscape, where the blue waters of Como meet the alpine foothills, which in turn meet the blue sky. And, make a special visit to the patron saint of cyclists, Madonna del Ghisallo chapel and cycling museum.
Then… Lake Garda! Where the charm of our area comes from not only our crystal-clear lake, but our secret routes through hilly vineyards in the Valpolicella region. There is no better way to enjoy the Lake region of Italy than to spend time at both lakes, with your friends, riding your bikes.
Two unique and beautiful Lakes in one cycling trip - don’t miss this opportunity !
Lake Como is situated in Northern Italy’s Lombardy region. Created by a glacier, it is the 3rd largest lake in Italy. Its shape forms an upside down “Y”, with the village of Bellagio sitting in the base of the “Y.” Bellagio is world famous, for the view of the lake and mountains as the town looks across the northern arm of the lake onto the Alps. It is a breathtaking landscape, to say the least.
Upon your arrival in Italy, we can pick you up at the airport and take you to Bellagio, located on Lake Como, where you will spend 3 or perhaps more days, if you like either at Hotel Il Perlo or Hotel Belvedere : you’ll have your choice of staying in a 2 start or a 3 star hotel.
After a rewarding stay there, we can drive you to Lake Garda, less than 2 hours away. Once you arrive you will spend 3 or perhaps more days at Garda Bike Hotel, with the Verdolin brothers…
The offer is valid from 01.04 to 31.10
The minimum stay for this special offer is 6 nights, 3 nights minimum at each location.
The nearest airport to Lake Como is Milano airport. You can land in Milano Malpensa, Milano Linate or Bergamo Orio al Serio.
The nearest airport to Lake Garda is Verona Villafranca airport.
We can arrange transfer service from and to the main airports of Northern Italy (Verona, Bergamo, Milano, Venice, Bologna). Please let us know your arrival and departure airport, and we’ll organize a perfect transfer! All you need to think about is having fun riding your bike!
The focal point of Il Perlo Panorama is the unrivaled view of Lake Como, as seen from Il Perlo’s Zen-like outdoor patio, atop a hill overlooking the lake. It will enchant you from the beginning. Il Perlo is 3km from the town center, has a small garden, with roses, olive trees, wisteria and kiwi vines and offers a sublime getaway from the hustle of everyday life. The hotel was built in 1922 by the owner’s grandfather to offer affordable rooms to the servants of the aristocracy visiting nearby Bellagio. But today it is the guests of Il Perlo who feel like the richest people in the world as they take in the special panoramic view from the hotel’s expansive patio.
Belvedere Bellagio ***S, is a leading hotel in Bellagio, snuggled between the still lake waters and the stunning skies. A family business since 1880, it has been passed from grandmother to mother to daughter. Today 3 generations of women are on the premises to welcome you. This hillside retreat offers a private garden, with sun-splashed terraces and spots shaded by olive trees. Or, you might take advantage of the swimming pool overlooking the lake, the spa offering a variety of relaxing services, or a soft armchair in the library, sipping a cup of tea. The Belvedere Bellagio is simply modern, sumptuously traditional.
Whether you decide to stay at Hotel Il Perlo or Hotel Belvedere, bike services are organized from Hotel Il Perlo, in collaboration with Como Lago Bike, the local cycling club, which promotes cycling holidays in Lake Como by offering bike rental, and professional cycling guides for guests.
Como Lago Bike rents quality road, mountain and ebikes. Both daily group rides and custom guided tours, tailored to your needs and expectations, are offered. Como Lago Bike invites you to share their passion for cycling with them and get ready for the ultimate cycling experience.
The cycling routes accommodate most skill and fitness abilities, from easy to difficult, including both leisurely to competitive cyclists, and everything in between, as well as being a great place for team training. There are plenty of trails around Bellagio and on the ridgeline above the lake, for mountain bikers. Quiet, scenic bike paths and trails meander along the lake for leisurely rides. Road cyclists might like the long gentle climbs taking them to high alpine views of the lake, and some will prefer the steep challenging climbs like the Muro di Sormano, Valcava, and Ghisallo that are used in professional races like the Giro di Lombardia and Giro d’Italia. And, for guests that are not quite so active, Como Lago Bike has eBikes that will make any ride in the area effortless, and provide the ability to enjoy the beauty of the area by bicycle.

The combined package of Lake Garda & Lake Como was better than we expected. Each location had amazing views and landscape, fabulous cycling, perfect accommodations, delicious food, affordable tasty drinks and helpful, friendly and warm staff. The only thing we would do differently is stay longer at each location. Garda Bike Hotel assistance and communication in planning the trip was so helpful and great. They set everything up so that all we needed to do was show up, ride our bikes, eat and enjoy the amazing Italian Lakes District.
