To the north the road opens up towards Lake Como, which is approximately one hour's drive away along the A9 motorway, with its dramatic mountain sides and picturesque villages.

In winter the Alps near Bergamo and Lecco attract skiing enthusiasts, while the summer months are ideal for driving along the winding coastal roads of the lakes.
