Embark on the Giro del Lago di Varese in MTB, an easy mountain biking route that circles Lake Varese. This accessible trail covers 18.0 miles (28.9 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 475 feet (145 metres), taking about 1 hour and 42 minutes to complete. You will enjoy serene views of the clear lake waters, passing through green meadows and woods, with glimpses of the Campo dei Fiori massif and, on clear days, the distant Alps including Monte Rosa. The terrain is mostly flat to gently rolling, primarily on dedicated cycle tracks, with just one short 100-meter climb near Biandronno.
This route is ideal for all skill levels and families, offering a relaxed ride on mostly surfaced roads and paths. You will find numerous points for rest and refreshment in charming villages like Gavirate, Galliate Lombardo, Capolago, Schiranna, and Groppello, which are perfect for a break. Spring and autumn offer mild weather, making these seasons particularly pleasant for your ride around the lake.
The Giro del Lago di Varese is notable for its comprehensive loop around the lake, providing a safe and scenic experience away from busy roads. Its smooth terrain and beautiful views make it a popular choice for anyone seeking an enjoyable outing.
