The River Lambro flows peacefully through Brianza, creating a route that crosses the Royal Villa of Monza, the Romanesque churches of Agliate, and small villages surrounded by woods and fields. The cycle route, which follows the river from Monza to Erba, is some 42 kilometres long, an invitation to let the rhythm of the waters set the pace as you discover landscapes that alternate nature with history and art. It starts in Monza, crossing the park of the Royal Villa, one of the largest enclosed parks in Europe. The cycle route here follows the meadows and tree-lined roads, passing near the Villa and also the famous racetrack, the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza. The route then passes quickly along the river, with cycle trails, secondary roads and dirt tracks. Between Biassono and Lesmo, the River Lambro flows peacefully through woods and fields, dotted with little bridges. Continuing, it comes to Triuggio and Agliate, where time seems to stand still, with ancient villages and historic villas, as well as the Church of Santa Maria della Neve and Villa Taverna, both overlooking the other side of the river. In some sections, little bridges make it possible to cross the Lambro and take a closer look at these buildings, but to continue along the cycle path it is necessary to return to the other bank. Once in Agliate, the cycle track comes to a stunning place, the Basilica of Santi Pietro e Paolo, a gem of Lombard Romanesque architecture, and well worth stopping at to take a look at the inside, together with the nearby baptistery.  The final section, through to Carate Brianza alternates cycle tracks, secondary roads and tracks surrounded by greenery, with views that showcase the most authentic side of Brianza, made of nature and small villages. Here it is possible to conclude your itinerary or continue further, towards the Oasi di Baggero, with a wilder section, where the river and plants offer stunning views to conclude the route once in Erba. The Lambro cycle path is accessible to everyone, with some breaks where it is necessary to cover sections of road requiring greater attention. The first sections, through to Carate Brianza, offer a gentler experience and in autumn, the colours of the scenery heighten the beauty of the route, transforming a cycle ride into a more immersive experience.

The Lower Valtellina is an ideal destination for the discerning tourist who wants to take a break from work and the hectic pace of the city. The picturesque villages of these areas welcome the visitor by telling him or her their history, through the remains of ancient castles and monasteries or the more modern murals. A walk through the historic center or out of town reveals old houses with wooden galleries, wash houses, lively crafts that have almost disappeared, small churches and shrines. But Bassa Valtellina is also the valley of large numbers. Buglio in Monte is the town that, in its development from south to north, rises an impressive 3410 meters in altitude, a record among the municipalities in the area. Tartano, on the other hand, is home to Europe's highest Tibetan bridge.

Discover ancient villages, buildings of great historical and artistic interest, and countless wineries where you can taste excellent Valtellina wines.
