The ordeal of my knee continues as it no longer allows me the old gaits of a ferocious cyclist.
However, the day is beautiful but from tomorrow the rain will return.

The silence of the lake as a companion, the climb to the Madonna del Sasso that makes you hungry and from where you can admire a beautiful panorama... finally in Orta in front of San Giulio, with a steaming and fragrant plate of pasta and an excellent 🍺

Today, Thursday, the final tour around Lake Orta. It starts at 8:30. 8:45 - halfway down - a scream! Two ladies have forgotten their bike keys again. Bus with bike trailer has to turn around! Great!👎👎
But then it really starts. Shortly after the start - we were informed of this - 5 km steeply uphill. Well, no problem with …

Girolago in its best version, that is, throwing in the reed path, which on a dirt road keeps you on the lake for the first few kilometers rather than the state road.
Departure and arrival from Lido di Gozzano.

Starting point A directly at the bakery. End B was our parking lot with a direct refreshment option above in the evening.

The route is quite varied and can also be done with a biobike.

In Pella right in the tower there is a great ice cream cafe😋

We skipped Gozzano at the southern end.

Parking in Orta San Giulio (€2/h €10/day)

After Omegna the road climbs towards Brolo (the town of cats), then Nonio, Cesara, then descends towards Pella (if the timetable permits, you can have lunch at the Trattoria Antica Cartiera).
In Lagna, take the long lake (dirt road) as far as Lido …

Today, in fantastic weather, in the other direction around the lake. First on a small hiking trail along the bank, then a short break at the lake and finally back up into the surrounding mountains before we went back down the north bank to the lake. It was nice!
