We’re assuming Open House 2025 in Mandello will be 12th to 14th September. Does anyone know for sure?
In the absence of ‘official’ confirmation of the Open House 2025 dates we’ve taken a flyer and booked two nights at B&B Le Ortensie - Lago di Como, Via Roma 180, 23827 Lierna.
It’s 4 miles north of Mandello on the shores of the lake and has private parking.
At this time of writing they had one room left (on Booking.com) for Friday 12th and Saturday 13th.
For those like me who’ve not made it there …yet, what is usually on offer during the event.?
I do hope to take my V7 for a wobble back to its birthplace sometime next year.

This describes what takes place over the weekend in Mandello.
As below, it appears the dates for the 2025 event won’t be officially confirmed until the end of January. Not very helpful if you’re planning a tour around Europe based on which weekend you need to be in Mandello.
Looks like you got it right Chris, Thurs 11 - Sun 14th Sept is showing on the website now.
Any recommendations on ‘must ride’ routes on the way/nearby, routes to avoid, places to visit, areas to stay, hotels, campsites, bars… any/all info appreciated.
For me I’d hope to travel there over three days, then ‘wander back’.
So a ride down from N.Lincs to Folkestone, over via the Chunnel, stop the first night Arras maybe, then on towards Geneva. I stopped in a place called Epinal t’other year, pleasant enough, then on to Mandello.
Likely 350 ish miles/day, but happy to do that at a pleasant pace taking time for lunch etc.
Poss return via the Route de Grand Alps/Route Napoleon.
Anyone been on the road from Turin towards Briancon, the A55 / SP23R via Gran Truc.?
That looks an interesting route.

Thanks for that. The general consensus seems to be that it’s that weekend, but there’s still no ‘official’ confirmation at this time of writing. We will wait another week or so to plan the rest of our tour, we don’t want to start amending everything.
