What to expect
Pedal out from the bike shop into Como's town centre, then follow quieter roads hugging the lake towards Cernobbio. A brief town-square pause precedes the climb inland up a traditional mountain road towards Moltrasio. The electric motor makes the ten-minute ascent manageable; once you crest Moltrasio Superiore, you'll stop to take in the water and mountains spreading below. A short walk reveals the cascade tucked into the hillside. From there, the route descends and traces the shoreline northward, passing through Carate Urio before arriving at Laglio, where palatial homes line the water's edge. After a rest by the lake, you'll retrace your route back to Como.
Good to know
