Beautiful cycle path that runs along the Novate Mezzola lake to Chiavenna and then goes further to Borgonuovo where you can see the beautiful Fraggia waterfalls.

I've cycled this route a few times and am always impressed. Fantastically and car-free, the landscape is a delight. After yesterday's heavy rain, today there was pure sunshine and an incredibly beautiful view.

Very well signposted, car-free, many opportunities for one or more refreshment stops, Chiavenna is very worthwhile, although some of the shops here are unfortunately empty.

Nice ride, not demanding, beautiful views, runs along Lake Como and Mezza, passes through the Pian Di Spagna nature reserve, the only flaw that sometimes there is a lot of wind, even strong on the lake ... it helps you train 👍
