Commissioned by Café du Cycliste, the cycling apparel brand from Nice, for “Coins Cachés” – the series in the brand’s journal that presents hidden riding regions.
The Lake Como edition was made in winter over several days, based in Dervio on the eastern shore, along five routes: up to Alpe Giumello, almost 1,600 metres above sea level; via Chiavenna and the Maloja Pass into the Engadine and over the Bernina Pass down to Tirano; by ferry from Varenna to Bellagio, along the shore to Como and up to Brunate; over the steep ramp of the Muro di Sormano; and to the Madonna del Ghisallo, the cyclists’ chapel on the route of the Tour of Lombardy.
The pictures show ferries and landing stages, narrow village lanes, lakeside roads, bare woods and the low light of winter days. The feature was published in February 2022. Read the feature at Café du Cycliste
