Suggestive hamlet of Varese. Lake Varese and the Feast of San Pietro are attractions of the village.

A small lake surrounded by greenery, near the hill of the same name. Very quiet place with a small dock.

The Lake Varese bike path is beautiful, but people often expect to see the lake all the time. This is not the case, as much of the route winds through wonderful vegetation. However, this is a point along the cycle path from which you can admire Lake Varese in its beauty.

The initial stretch is veeery difficult due to the numerous large rocks present. Not suitable for DH. From the middle of the coast onwards you reach a smoother but not very beaten track and in many places you have to get off the bike
