In the heart of the Larian Triangle, Lake Segrino opens out like a little natural jewel, just a few kilometres from Como, Lecco and Erba. It is one of the cleanest lakes in Europe, surrounded by a protected nature reserve that protects an extraordinary biodiversity, offering authentic contact with nature. The cycle path embraces the whole lake for some 5 kilometres, forming a loop that is both flat and accessible to everyone. Along the eastern shores, the cycle path winds silently between the woods and reeds, in a section that is completely closed to traffic, and which invites the cyclist to slow down and breathe in the quiet setting. Continuing along the western shore, the route narrows slightly and for a short section runs alongside the provincial road, but it remains safe and well protected, offering views over the water and surrounding scenery. Along the way, you will cross meadows, wetlands and small woods, where you might spot herons, mallards, and coots. In the spring, white water lilies dot the waters, while in the autumn, the golden reflections of the foliage transform the shores into a picture of natural beauty. The route invites you to take little detours to panoramic viewing points and green areas set out for pauses and picnics, offering occasions for peaceful contemplation. Lake Segrino is a perfect spot if you are looking for peace and a connection with nature.
