Excellent trip with Max discovering new places around Lake Como - around the Swiss and Italian border - 5 stars, loved it! The panorama was beautiful with visits to a few historical sights along the route made the trip so rich in terms of sightseeing activies.The electric bike (MTB) rented was of super quality, such a pleasure to use! Max also gives you great tips to fully enjoy your MTB experience. I highly recommend Max guided tours and I definitely cannot wait for another trip! Thank you so much for the experience!!

Stayed in Lake Como but got 2 very easy buses (C10 and C20) to our starting point in San Fidele in Telvi. The whole walk was just superb. It rained quite hard at the start but this proved to be a blessing as it heated up during the day. The ascent took us 3 hours 15. It took very different terrain through the forest, into the village of Orimento then up on the mountain. The views really were spectacular so it's a clear day I could reccomend enough. It's a lovely climb and not overly challenging. We got very lost of the way down attempting different routes which is all part of the fun so took us 4 hours! Would leave plenty of time for your bus back. I'd also suggest leaving early so you kiss the crowds and the worst of the heat. We started our ascent from the village just after 8 and wouldn't have done a thing differently.

Como, the largest city in this region. Along the way we are regularly treated to beautiful views of small villages on the other side of the lake. The radiant sun makes it even more idyllic, but otherwise there is little to do in this region (at this time of year).
