This is the characteristic bell tower of the church of Santa Maria Maddalena in Ossuccio. From Wikipedia: The church of Santa Maria Maddalena, Romanesque from the 12th century, is famous for its unique bell tower that features a late 14th century "spire" in brick, in Gothic style, which served as a bell tower, built over the old Romanesque stone bell tower. In turn, the spire is decorated with pinnacle elements, anthropomorphic figures and, at the top, a register of hanging arches. Attested since 1169, the church was built in the Ospedaletto area, where there was already a hospital. The church is a single-nave building, ending in a semicircular apse. Equipped with a gabled roof, the church features hanging arch decorations on all external sides. More references here: https://www.lombardiabeniculturali.it/architetture/schede/CO250-00004/

This is one of the highlights in the area. Past the Lago di Piano... Beautiful. Of course there are also sections that are not so great, especially near Menaggio, where it becomes more of an adventure for cyclists.
