A stunning mountain bike trip to Mount Colmegnone summit at 4537 ft a.s.l. This peak stands over Laglio village in Lake Como and the view from the top is a 360 degrees unique emotion. The quite challenging way up includes either a 10 miles paved climb or an exciting yet harder off-road line to "Croce dell'Uomo" and through the amazing "Sentiero del Violino" single track. After reaching Monte Colmegnone summit you can take a well deserved break at one of the nearby mountain chalets. There are several options for the way back: you can choose among steep mule tracks, a milder yet secluded paved road or a longer off-road way through "Val di Muggio" in Switzerland.
