Cycling to Lake Como is not too demanding. I had previously followed the Martesana Canal and then the Adda River to reach the lake, near Lecco. However, I had never been on the Como branch before, which also requires fewer kilometers. Well, this time was the right one.
About the trail
The route is mostly bike-friendly or on secondary roads with low car traffic. In this instance, I even found myself crossing a park that, due to the time of year, was quite secluded and not very crowded.
