Ride Lake Como on a Honda Africa Twin from Lecco

Pick up your motorcycle at CORSO MATTEOTTI 12 , 23900 Lecco (LC) and ride the eastern arm of Lake Como on a Honda Africa Twin from Itineris Rent. Lecco sits beneath the limestone ribs of the Grigne and the serrated profile of Monte Resegone, where steep cliffs drop into the glacial basin that forms Lago di Como. The rental is a straightforward way to string together the region’s best passes and lakeside hairpins: the SS36 toward Varenna and Bellano, the panoramic climb to Piani d’Erna, and the twisty roads that trace the western flanks of the Valsassina. You’ll feel the region’s geology under you—pale limestone cliffs, narrow ravines, and terraces of chestnut and olive that mark the pre-Alpine foothills.

The experience is designed for day-to-multi-day freedom: rentals run from one to seven days. Bring a valid ID, your driving license, and a credit or debit card for the €1500 security hold; as noted at check-in, 30% of the rental cost is due as an advance. The team meets riders at the shop and provides a brisk handover and basic orientation so you’re comfortable with the bike and its eco-conscious operation. Included with every booking: basic insurance, 100 km per day, 24-hour roadside assistance, and a lockable chain. Optional protective kit is available for a modest daily fee (gloves €3/day, jet or full helmets €5/day, jacket €10/day). Extra kilometers are charged at €0.30/km, and weather-only cancellations are not accepted.

Why choose a Honda Africa Twin here? The bike’s long-travel suspension and torquey twin-cylinder engine handle the mixed surfaces and mountain grades around Lecco better than most road bikes, letting you explore gravel-side viewpoints or rip along lakeside promenades. Itineris Rent operates from central Lecco, placing you within walking distance of waterfront cafés and the Manzoni-era streets that inspired local literature—an easy launch point for loop rides that end with an aperitivo beside the water.

Practical tips: non-EU riders must carry an International Driving Permit or equivalent paperwork. Fuel up in town before climbing to high passes where pumps are sparse. Respect local speed limits and single-lane turns; Italian drivers can be brisk. This rental turns Lake Como from a sightseeing circuit into a rideable playground—precise, liberating, and tailored for travelers who want to feel the road.

Loop suggestions include the Lecco–Varenna ferry crossing to stitch eastern and western shores, the mountain road to Piani d’Erna for cliff-side overlooks, and the Valsassina valley for wide curves and pastoral views. Note the rental’s cancellation policy: rain alone does not justify free cancellation, and the €1500 hold is released upon return if the bike is undamaged and refueled to its original level. Staff can advise on fuel stops, scenic detours, and sustainable riding practices daily.
