Lake Como is one of our favourite places in the world to ride with a lovely mix of climbs, lakeside routes and beautiful villages nestled into the hills. This sportive is the first big event in the area and comes on the same weekend as the Tour of Lombardy making this the ultimate season ending weekend. The sportive starts and ends in Lecco and your options are to stay here for convenience or in Bellagio which is a prettier town with stunning views over the lake. Our hotel in Bellagio is on the famed Ghissalo climb up to the cyclists church to make the perfect vantage point to watch the pro race.
Full details to come in October...
Only one route option, 118km with around 2,700m of climbing with the Ghisallo and Muro di Sormano as the feature climbs.
Not the longest sportive but with 4 categorised climbs and lots of rolling hills it will be a challenging route. All 4 climbs max out at over 10% and the Muro di Sormano hits 27%. Expect stunning lake views at every turn
Beautiful Bellagio. One of the most glamorous towns in Italy with its narrow cobbled streets and lake views. This makes a great base for cycling with ferries to other parts of the lake and the Ghisallo on your doorstep. Our hotel is on the steepest section of the famous climb - the perfect place to watch the race come past.
