In 20 minutes you can ride this cable car from Stresa to the top of Mottarone. On the way up,…read moreafter about 10 minutes, you will come to the first station - Alpinia. Here you will find a botanical garden, but not great views due to the tall trees. Definitely continue up with the second cable car to Mottarone. After you reach Mottarone, take the ski lift (included in the cost) to the overlook platform for a great 360 degree view. On a clear day this view is unbeatable. At the top, you will find many possible activities to take part in. I noticed many people renting mountain bikes and taking them with them, many hikers, and there are several adventure type parks with lots of different activities to take part in as well. To find the station you will want to walk from city center along the lake front towards the islands. As you walk along the water front you will come to the station.

Fantastic hand-made bikes. I own one their carbon black MTBs.read more

I own a Pedego e-bike that I ride in a mountainous area, so I assumed I could easily do this tour…read more The e-bike they provided for me had no power assist going up hill. 1. Make sure you understand your guide before taking the tour. If your guide can not properly show you how to use the e-bike and someone else has to interpret, get a new guide. 2. There are no bike lanes and your tour is on a busy narrow highway full of cars and trucks. It can be very unsafe. I was forced into a guard rail by a large truck. Our guide was so far up the hill, that she did not see this. When she saw me stopped she offered me her bike, because she said her bike was better. Our guide had a better bike than me!!!!!!!???? 3 The bikes do not have rear view mirrors, so you do not see the trucks until they are upon you. 4. The first part of our trip was 4 miles uphill with no reprieve. At our first stop we asked our guide why she lied to us about the uphill climb. She originally told us things would level off after the first curve. Her answer to us was that she had to lie to us, because if she told us the truth we wouldn't take the tour. 5. After 4 miles straight up a hill, we now had to have our brakes on for another 4 miles down. All of a sudden our guide stopped. She used no hand signals to warn us. Because my bike was somewhat too big for me and I am going downhill, I fell before I could stop. Sadly it resulted in 2 broke ribs and a broken thumb. It could have been averted if our guide used hand signals or told us about the route beforehand. I am still not sure why we stopped, as there were no stop signs. 6. After falling and not enjoying having to share the road with heavy traffic, we told the guide we were quitting. By the way, the tour guide did have a first aid kit that had supplies to help with the scraps from falling. 7. The company van picked us up and took us back to the e-bike office. We were met with the owner who NEVER asked me how I was. She had to know what happened, beside I had bandages on me. We paid the full price for this tour this very dangerous disappointing tour.

These guys are amazing! I was in Como for a week, I did one of their tours, which was fantastic…read moreon my second day. I also hired a bike for about three days so I could do some amazing rides in the area including the Ghisallo. You can hire fantastic bikes for a good price. Even the 'mid rage' are brand new Bianchi's equipped with Di2. They make sure you are all fitted and set up before you ride off. They have every thing you need at the shop also, clothing, gels, drinks etc. You can do a bunch of ride sections you will see in the Tour de Lombardy and Tour de Italia in the area. Great group of people and I was so lucky this place is there!
