This route is suitable for lovers of long rides.
It starts from the Lombard shore of Lake Maggiore, to move on to the Piedmontese shore.
Here, after about 20 km, the climb to the top of Mottarone, several times protagonist of the Giro d’Italia, begins.
The climb is about 20 km long and has a fairly regular gradient, around 10 percent.
Once at the top, a spectacular descent will take you to Lake Orta, on the opposite side. Arriving in Verbania you board the ferry to return to the Lombard shore, where after about 20 km along the lake you arrive at the Hotel Belvedere in Ranco.
