Civenna and Baita TreeB Bellagio: a useful stop between woods and viewpoints

This guide is part of UTLAC’s Area section and is intended for people arriving at Lake Como to race, accompany an athlete, or turn the event into an opportunity to discover the area as a family. Civenna is one of the most useful places to include in the story of the area because it effectively connects two very powerful visions: Bellagio and the lake’s best-known promontory on one side, and the wooded, mountain character of the Triangolo Lariano on the other. It is therefore not merely a transit point, but a destination that makes it possible to understand how the landscape changes within a few kilometers. The presence of the area identified as Baita TreeB Bellagio makes this location even easier to interpret in relation to the event. It is a stop that can work both for those following the race from a practical perspective and for those who want to include a pleasant, relaxing break between lake and mountain.

Local flavors

Here, the culinary side is decidedly Alpine: polenta, braised meat, mountain cheeses, cured meats, honey, chestnuts, and mushrooms are the most natural references. On race days, it is best to choose simple places, with local cuisine and a more relaxed pace than on the lakeshore.

Art, culture, and local identity

Civenna belongs to that system of villages and hamlets that very clearly explains the complexity of the Triangolo Lariano. It is not merely ‘near Bellagio’: it has its own identity as a village at elevation, with woods, trails, and a slower pace of life than on the lakeshore.

How to experience it during UTLAC

During UTLAC, it is a very versatile stop: suitable for those seeking convenience, but also for those wishing to be in a greener, less crowded setting. Very good for families who prefer longer, less hectic breaks.
