At the International Youth Hostel "La Primula" in Menaggio we offer cycle tours suitable for singles or small groups (max. 8 people) including one week's accommodation in the hostel overlooking Lake Como. The complete programme consists of 5 separate day tours, each about 50 km. All tours start and finish at Menaggio. Route difficulty varies. Three routes follow the Lake Como shoreline, where climbing is kept to a minimum. The other two routes are more difficult, with climbs of 500m and 700m. Bikes with suitable gears are recommended if you are bringing your own. For each tour we provide maps and will point out places of interest along the way. The best time for cycle tours around Lake Como is spring or autumn.
