This is the highlight on the cycle path between Lake Como and Lake Lugano. (Between Porlezza and Menaggio) Absolutely great place for a break.

We paid €30.00 for 5 people, the coolness in the gorge alone was worth the entrance fee on this hot day 😎 A relatively short pleasure, but you can't stop taking photos. 📸

In the suggestive scenery of Val Menaggio, Lake Piano is located in the heart of the regional nature reserve. It is surrounded by fields, reed thickets and a dense green forest that develops on the slopes of Mount Galbiga. It can be a perfect place for a regenerating break while cycling.

Great little tour with an overwhelming natural spectacle. Absolutely worth it. And then an espresso and an ice cream in Bellano, a pretty little place by the lake.
