In 1910 the first Italian flights took off from here; an itinerary of 99 kilometres departing from Varese allows you to explore the gems of the Agusta Museum, testimony of one of the most famous brands of motorbikes and helicopters in the world. A few kilometres and then you are in Volandia, the biggest museum of flight in Europe, located in front of the Malpensa airport. Back in the saddle to visit the Visconteo Castle in Somma Lombardo and then to the Rocca di Angera, a medieval fortification perfectly preserved, from where you have a beautiful panorama on the Lake Maggiore. Riding
from one lake basin to another, you reach the shore of the Lake Varese where you can see first the headquarters of the motorcycle company SWM in Biandronno, and then the MV Agusta Motor Spa. Return to Varese city centre
