Stop and look, you'll be able to admire the 7 lakes in 360 degrees. From here, the gaze then loses itself in infinity: with the clear sky, from the Maritime Alps to Monviso, from the closer Monte Rosa Massif to the Swiss Alps, up to the Po Valley. A unique scenery just an hour from Milan and on the return journey passing by Monte Falò, downhill dirt roads, single tracks and unforgettable woods 😉 #mottarone #lagomaggiore #gignese #stresa #cycletourism #hiking #ebike #gravelbike
