The proposed bike tour is a perfect combination of nature, art and sport.

The scenic route from Piazza Garibaldi then winds along the characteristic terraces of the Rhaetian side of Valtellina, with striking panoramic views of the Adda River and the valley. By making a detour along the climb from Sondrio to Triasso, a shrine dating from the 15th century with breathtaking views of the city is easily accessible.

Along the way there are agritourisms and wineries where you can sample typical Valtellina dishes and wines.

For lovers of mountain sports, fun is guaranteed: in the Sassella locality there is a rock cliff equipped with numerous routes dedicated to both beginners and experienced climbers, a 15-meter-long Tibetan bridge and a "Tyrolean gym." At the foot of the wall is an instructional area designed for beginners where you can experiment with climbing while learning how to use the equipment safely. Access to the gym, managed by the CAI section of Sondrio, is open to everyone.

Those who prefer water sports, on the other hand, are advised to plan a stop in the area from Stazzona to Castione Andevenno: rafting, canoeing and hydrospeed can be practiced along the course of the Adda River.

Navigating the rapids of the river surrounded by vineyards, castles, dense forests and ancient rural villages, one can experience the nature of Valtellina from a completely different, exciting and suggestive point of view.

The final section of the route that leads back to the city center is almost completely flat and crosses the Bartesaghi Park, a green area of about 20 hectares equipped with a refreshment-bar point in the center.
