Gavirate – Biandronno – Bodio Lomnago – Azzate – Schiranna (Varese) – Calcinate – Voltorre – Gavirate

Starting the route anticlockwise from Gavirate takes you south towards Biandronno, during this first part of the ride you pass the jetty from where the boat takes visitors across to Isolino Virginia, where you can see the remains of a prehistoric pile-dwelling settlement.

The trails starts in Schiranna, on the Lake Varese. We then take the uphill Via Vigevano (which then turns into Via Valle Luna) and begin our climb. After just a few hundreds meters, as we cycle up the hill, we can stop to admire the changing landscape at our backs, with views opening onto the lake and surrounding countryside.
