You roll away from the meeting point with the lake in your peripheral vision, the hum of a high-end e-bike under your feet and the scent of fresh grass pushed toward you by a cool breeze. The route climbs gently, opening vistas of Lake Orta that change with each turn: glassy flats, a farmhouse terrace rimmed with blueberries, and the thundering hush of the Pescone waterfalls daring you to pause.

Conservation
Stick to designated paths around the falls and support local producers to keep small farms viable; avoid single-use plastics during the aperitif and pack out waste.
