Routes

The section of the Sentiero Valtellina between Sondrio and Tirano, stretching over 30 km along the Adda River, is an easy ride suitable for cyclists of all levels. It offers stunning views of a landscape where human perseverance meets the richness of nature.

Starting in Sondrio, follow Via Stelvio along a well-maintained bike path that leads you out of the city. About 300 meters before the roundabout at Montagna in Valtellina, turn right onto a pedestrian and cycling path. A bike underpass takes you to the opposite side of the railway, into Sondrio’s industrial area.

From here, follow the bike path along a well-packed dirt road surrounded by cultivated fields. Continue until you reach a canal, where another underpass leads you onto the Sentiero Valtellina.

After about 1 km, take a short loop into the Bosco dei Bordighi, a riverside forest hugging the banks of the Adda. It’s one of the few remaining riparian woodlands in the floodplain area of the river. Resume your ride towards Tirano along the beautiful Valtellina cycle path, passing through old villages, farms, meadows, fields, and the region’s famous terraced vineyards, perched on steep slopes and producing wines with a bold, generous character.

Once in Tirano, visit the area’s most important religious monument—the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin—and enjoy a stroll through the historic district. To refuel, we recommend a stop at Moro Burger, where you can enjoy a delicious sandwich made with Bresaola della Valtellina PGI.
