Sesto Calende is on the mouth of Lake Maggiore full of restaurants and cafes. You can park your car here and effectively following the river all the way to Turbigo, where you can divert close to the Ticino River and ride offroad. You will encounter a lot of bikers on this route when you reach Turbigo. Nice scenery, very flat with a nice hill when you get close to Turbigo. by klein1996
