Menaggio–Porlezza Cycle Path Tunnel

Highlight • Cycleway

This itinerary follows the route of the old railway which from 1884 to 1939 connected Menaggio with Porlezza on Lake Lugano. The route develops in Val Menaggio, mostly on asphalted surfaces and touches the Lago di Piano nature reserve. Please note that some short sections take place along roads open to car traffic.

The railway line between Menaggio and Porlezza, inaugurated in 1884, was created with the aim of increasing northern European tourism towards the lake region. Arriving by train in Lugano, the passengers continued by steamer to Porlezza and from there by train to Menaggio. Between the two world wars, until 1939, the railway line was used as a local transport system, for the transport of wood from the forests of Monte Galbiga and the ice of Lake Piano, and then fell into abandonment at the end of the Second World War .

Tremezzo

Highlight • Settlement

Tremezzo gave its name to the bank of the Tremezzina, which is also called the bank of the azaleas and has been praised as the place of eternal spring since the Middle Ages. Perhaps the name Tremezzo comes from its location 'in the middle' (Tremezzo) way between Como and Sorico on the ancient Via Regina. Here the lake opens to the north - even if it still seems to be bisected by the Bellagio peninsula. From 1928 to 1947 Tremezzo, Lenno and Mezzegra were a single municipality called Tremezzina.

Lake Lugano

Highlight • Lake

Lake Lugano, also known as Ceresio, is acclaimed as one of the most beautiful of the pre-Alpine lakes.
Its waters mainly extend into Swiss territory, in the Canton of Ticino, but the north-east and south-west ends bathe the territories of the provinces of Como and Varese respectively.

Cycling along the lakefront, you will be able to enjoy the beauty of the scenery of which it is the protagonist: the calm waters are set between the verdant Alpine reliefs.
