This tour starts from the Torba Monastery, crosses the Olona Valley cycle route, and ends at Castelseprio. You’ll be riding across trails and wades to reach the Archeological Park, the Castrum – a Lombard fortified military base – and the church of Santa Maria Foris Portas, one of the most famous monuments in the Varese area. Next stop: the Caronno Corbellaro hilltop, where you can admire a breathtaking view over Campo dei Fiori and the Olona Valley up to the Venegono seminary. A visit at Castiglione Olona, dubbed by Gabriele D’Annunzio as “Tuscan island in Lombardy”, is a must before retaking the cycle route.

• SITI UNESCO Monastero di Torba - Parco Archeologico di Castelseprio - Chiesa di Santa Maria Foris Portas
