Overview

Quotes Logo Ghisallo Road Bike Tour: Experience the legend and challenge on two wheels near Lake Como! This tour is perfect for cyclists who love tough climbs and amazing views.

First, riders will tackle the famous Ghisallo climb, a symbol of cycling. Then, they face the Muro di Sormano, known as "the WALL!" This steep path stretches 1.8km with an average gradient of 18% and a max of 25%. It's considered one of the toughest bike paths anywhere! Riders can track their progress as they climb, with the altitude marked every meter on the road. The Muro was part of the Giro di Lombardia for three years in the early 1960s but was then skipped for 50 years because it was too difficult, even for professional cyclists! It’s been back in the race since 2012. This tour is a must-try for any serious cyclist.

The tour includes visits to the Cycling Church and Museum, dedicated to the history of cycling. Helmets and water bottles are provided. This small-group tour ensures a personalized experience. Get ready for an unforgettable adventure! Quotes Logo
