Embark on the Mottarone Climb from Stresa, a challenging road cycling route that takes you through serene coniferous forests. This difficult ascent covers 25.1 miles (40.3 km) and demands a significant 4353 feet (1327 metres) of elevation gain. You can expect to complete this rewarding journey in about 2 hours and 42 minutes, culminating in panoramic views from the summit.
When planning your ride, be aware that the final 8 kilometers of the climb are on a private Borromean road. This section offers excellent surfacing and reduced car traffic, making for a more pleasant ascent. Cyclists can pass through this part of the route for free, while cars are required to pay a toll.
As you climb, you will be treated to picturesque views over Lake Maggiore and its islands. The summit of Mottarone, standing at 1438 metres above sea level, provides a unique vantage point where you can see seven different lakes, including Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta, alongside the majestic Italian and Swiss Alps.
