Why go
About LakeMotion
LakeMotion was started by two people from the Lake Como area who grew up on its trails and winding roads. They offer e-bike and Vespa tours, as well as rentals, and want visitors to see the lake in a personal, natural and unhurried way, far from the usual crowded routes.
Paolo, a certified mountain bike guide from Mandello del Lario, leads the rides on routes he has known since childhood. Roberto, who came back to the lake after years in tourism, runs the rental point in Varenna and looks after every detail so that each trip is easy and enjoyable.
