What we will do
The excursion starts in Pisogne, in the province of Brescia. After a short briefing with the guide, our tour begins.
Together with the guide, we will ride about 10 km on a cycle path alongside Lake Sebino. Arriving in Sulzano, we will take the ferry (included in the fee) with our e-bikes to Monte Isola.
Monte Isola isEurope's largest lake island, where there is a magical village suspended in time. By e-bike, we will ride through the narrow, characteristic streets of the island, following the coast road in a clockwise direction.
A ride through the olive groves will take us to Sensole, from where we can admire the nearbyislet of San Paolo. We will then reach the village of Menzino, where the Rocca Oldofredi-Martinengo fortress stands majestically. The more daring will be able to reach the highest part of the island, where the Santuario della Ceriola stands with a 360° view of the lake.
Continuing northwards, we will encounter the small village of Sinchignano and Siviano, the island's main town and a fortified village in the Middle Ages, with tower houses and narrow streets.
From here, facilitated by our e-bikes, a challenging climb will lead us to the ancient villages of Cure and Masse, known for the artisanal production of "Salame di Monte Isola". We can decide to have a packed lunch or choose some typical restaurants. In the warmer months we can also bathe and regenerate in the shade of the olive trees.
From Cure, then, a cobbled road leads in twenty minutes to the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Ceriola, which dominates from the top of the mountain offering tourists a breathtaking view. We will be able to reach it if conditions and the participants' physical abilities permit.
The excursion ends with the return trip by ferry to Pisogne, at approximately 14.00 hours.
