Codogna-Cardano Trip Overview
Our destinations are where you dream of going when you’re on the ferry looking up at the lake cliffs. Now you can say you’ve found the way there!
People always wonder how you reach those churches that look like dots from the ferry – perched right on the edge of the lake’s cliffs. They hold so much wonder and amazement that it is even possible to build there. We will explore two ultimate panoramas of the lake which are largely unknown to tourists. We pedal along the main mountain road until we reach the quaint hamlet of Breglia. We walk through a forest to a very humble white chapel with an amazing view. It’s impossible not to be moved by the magic. Our next stop is a series of original WW1 trenches protecting some of the most incredible views of the lake.

Itinerary
This tour leaves from the small village of Cardano, in the valley behind Menaggio. We e-bike from here, through the back streets of Menaggio before taking the main mountain road up towards Monte Grona (the beautiful mountains above Menaggio). We ride uphill for approximately 50 minutes. Once we arrive in the village of Breglia we head towards a hidden sanctuary. We will leave our e-bikes here and take a 10 minute walk into the forest to explore our next location which is a tiny church perched on the edge of a cliff with stunning views across the lake.
