The Lakes

The start of “Les Dix Alpes” is in Como, at the southern tip of the southwest arm of Lago di Como and 45 kilometres north of Milan. Como’s economy was traditionally based on industry, but in recent decades, tourism has become increasingly important. Many celebrities have homes on the shores of Lake Como, such as Madonna, Gianni Versace, and Sylvester Stallone. 
The first kilometres out of Como you cycle along the beautiful shoreline of Lake Como with its admirable gardens which benefit from the mild climate. You touch Switzerland for a bit when you cycle along the shores of Lago di Lugano before you return into Italy at the Lago Maggiore. The climate at Italy’s second largest lake is also very mild in both summer and winter, producing Mediterranean vegetation with rare and exotic plants.
