Self-Guided Bike Tours
Self-guide your bike adventure on Lake Como!
... with some help from Bike It! Staff :)
Our expertise around Lake Como and beyond will assist you in choosing the best roads and routes for you and your group. We make sure you avoid any busy roads and take you to lesser known areas, ideal for a bike-packing trip.
A popular goal amongst visiting cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts is to ride around the whole lake. Lake Como's perimeter is 160km or 100 miles as a road ride, which can be pretty daunting. You can see and explore more by taking the long way around and over multiple days, making it a memorable adventure at your own pace!
We have options for all types of riders and with terrain that suits each of our bike rental models. We can also personalize your route and experience, just tell us what you're looking for and we'll pre-program your route in our GPS rental.
Looking to stay in one location and get personalized routes to self-guide your rides? No problem, we would love to show you the wide range of routes our area has to offer. Stay with one of our accommodation partners and we'll plan a great week of different rides everyday!
