The Province of Varese is the perfect place for a bike ride. This area is home to lakes, natural parks and cycling routes, allowing you to combine exercise with a spot of tourism. The climate is mild all year round thanks to the mountains shielding the lake to the north. The hills and valleys are thoroughly enjoyed by road bike lovers, while the nature surrounding the lake presents the perfect opportunity to venture out on a mountain bike.
The Province of Varese is known as the Terra dei Laghi (“Land of the Lakes”), and is home to seven spectacular lakes located at the foot of the Alps: Varese Lake, Monate Lake, Comabbio Lake, Ganna Lake, Ghirla Lake, Ceresio Lake, and naturally, the most famous: Lake Maggiore.
Here, you can pedal peacefully along the lakeside, head into the woodlands and along the river banks of adjacent valleys, or challenge yourself to routes at a 20% incline! Quick fact: Varese is the birthplace of numerous Italian cycling champions, including Luigi Ganna, Alfredo Binda, Claudio Chiappucci, Ivan Basso and Stefano Garzelli.
