Perledo is an ideal stopover for discovering Lake Como by bike, at your own pace. From the village, between stone streets and belvederes, a few pedal strokes are all it takes to enjoy superb panoramic views of the water and mountains. Whether you're travelling as a couple, a family or with friends, this walk lends itself just as much to a leisurely outing as to a sportier itinerary on the roads that climb to the heights.

Following the riverbank, you'll pass through small hamlets, Mediterranean gardens and viewpoints perfect for a photo break. On the village side, take time to stroll, stop for a coffee, then head back to Varenna and its lakeside promenades. If you're looking for peace and quiet, you'll appreciate the more secluded paths, where you can ride with birdsong in the background.
