Starting point for the final stretch of the steepest climb to Monte San Primo. Due to the fairly cobblestones, you'll have to push your e-MTB uphill, but with the "walk" command, it's doable. If you then descend towards Bellagio along the ridge of the Larian Triangle, in dry conditions it's guaranteed fun!
