Cycling along the waterways

From Brianza's lakes to the canals of Milan, a cycle tour in surrounded by nature, villages and some surprising views

September brings a whole new air with it: the days become shorter, the sunshine is gentler, and the slow rhythm of nature invites you to travel around at a more leisurely pace.

It’s the perfect time to discover the cycle routes along the lakes, rivers and canals, where every turn of the pedals becomes an opportunity to watch the changing seasons and breathe in the cool autumn air.

The waterways between Milan and Brianza offer unique scenery: dark woods, quiet shores, and silent villages to accompany those who choose to explore the area by bike.

With ancient bridges, walkways over rivers, and small stopping points surrounded by green, in September the cycle paths invite you to slow down, look at the details, and let the panoramas astound you along the way.

Lake Annone cycle and pedestrian path (Lecco) — In the rolling hills of eastern Brianza, where the highlands meet the pre-Alps, Lake Annone extends before the eyes, smooth as a millpond, framed by woods and meadows. The cycle and pedestrian path forms a loop around the lake for some 14 kilometres, with its hidden landing points and memories of ancient villages.
