Full description
Imagine spotting George Clooney... while pedalling a waterbike on Lake Como!
That's what could happen to you during this tour from Laglio, riding your floating bike. Accompanied by a guide, you'll see the shores of the lake from a new perspective: a blossoming of historic villas, luxury hotels and adorable villages.
Join a fun and unusual 2-hour experience: if you manage to snag an invitation to the Villa Oleandra, even better!
What we will do
The meeting point is 15 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point in Laglio (CO), on the shores of Lake Como.
Here we will be welcomed by our guide, who will provide us with life jackets and show us how to use the waterbike in total safety. After a short briefing we will begin our adventure, riding our bikes a few steps from Villa Oleandra, the residence of the actor George Clooney.
We will cycle along the coast embellished by elegant historic villas to the village of Torriggia, and then cross the lake to the small village of Careno. Here we will admire its houses overlooking the water, almost suspended between lake and mountain. On average, the bikes reach a speed of 6.5 km/h.
We will continue towards one of the most iconic natural wonders of the Lario: theOrrido di Nesso, with its spectacular waterfall plunging into the lake between two rock walls. Along the way it will be possible to stop for a dip or take panoramic stops in the middle of the lake to enjoy the views in peace.
We will return to the starting point in Laglio, after covering approximately 10 km. The activity will last a total of 2 hours.
