OUR OPTIONAL EXCURSIONS
Mountain Biking & Cycling
Cycling and mountain biking enthusiasts from around the world come to Italy and Switzerland for their legendary routes and unforgettable scenery. We can assist with every detail, from curated itineraries to trusted rental companies, ensuring a seamless and rewarding experience.
One iconic highlight is the climb to the Madonna del Ghisallo, perched above Bellagio and officially declared the patron saint of cyclists by the Pope during the 1949 Giro d’Italia. It is both a physical challenge and a deeply symbolic journey for riders of all levels.
Hiking in the Alps
Hiking is immensely popular in both Italy and Switzerland, and for good reason. The Swiss and Italian Alps, including the legendary Dolomites, attract world-class climbers and nature lovers alike.
From Lake Como, you can literally hike from the lakeshore up to panoramic mountain peaks, traversing miles of scenic trails dotted with traditional rifugios, mountain huts offering shelter, meals, and even overnight accommodations. Whether you seek a gentle walk or a more exhilarating ascent, we work with specialized companies to tailor the experience to your comfort and ambition.
Golfing
Golf in Italy may surprise you and impress you even more. Many courses are set in extraordinary landscapes, blending sport with elegance and history. Just outside Como lies the world-renowned Villa d’Este Golf Club, where we are able to offer our guests privileged access at a very favorable rate thanks to long-standing relationships.
Once considered an exclusive sport, golf in Italy has grown in popularity and accessibility in recent years, attracting both seasoned players and a new generation of enthusiasts.
Scuba Diving
Scuba diving is especially popular along the Mediterranean Coast, and the Italian Riviera offers one of its most iconic underwater landmarks: the Christ of the Abyss, located 57 feet below the surface near San Fruttuoso.
This powerful statue, placed in 1954 to honor Italy’s first scuba diver, rests in crystal-clear waters near a secluded village accessible only by boat. During our Riviera excursion, we can connect you with a highly qualified diving company, allowing you to safely explore this remarkable site and the stunning surrounding coastline.
