Valtellina (Italy): The new Frontier of Gravel Cycling
VALTELLINA, Italy, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Located in Northern Italy, between Lake Como and Switzerland, the alpine valley of Valtellina is not only about great alpine road-bike passes, or mountain-bike single-trails leading to the wilder sceneries. This summer in Valtellina is all about gravel cycling! Here history has left an immense heritage of roads related to agriculture and trading, that today are connected into itineraries suitable for any kind of cyclist.
- This summer in Valtellina is all about gravel cycling!
- The main element is water: Sentiero Valtellina follows the Adda river, running along the whole valley from the alpine resort of Bormio to Lake Como (114 kilometers).
- First date on the calendar (12 of May) and 1st edition for a gravel event with routes in the nature and culture of Valchiavenna.
- Gravel is compelling and genuine, like the wine served as aperitif with rye bread and bresaola, like the farmers you meet on the roads.
