A marvelous natural environment and the charm of landscape foreshortenings are an ideal context for trails on two wheels, in a land that offers any kind of route, suitable for both beginner hikers and expert trippers.

Both road hikers and mountain bikers will find in the lands of Varese their ideal paths, deciding whether to take “a one-day full immersion” in open road at speed or otherwise to follow easier time schedules savoring the beauties of the Seven Lakes Province.

These are the lands of super champion Alfredo Binda, whose native town Cittiglio dedicates to him a museum with many gems for fans. It was also native place for other protagonists on two-wheels: some names?

Chiappucci, Basso, Contini, Panizza… and then the two world championships held on Varese’s roads in years 1951 and 2008; the classic “Tre Valli” racing event of every year’s international calendar of two-wheels races; one of the most important women’s competition, the “Trofeo Binda”.

Varese is a true mecca for those who enjoy spending their days outdoors along routes that are ideal for anyone: from the simple cycling tourist to the expert hiker. What better than facing the same paths that, year after year, see the greatest names of cyclism engaged in races? In addition, those who wish to admire the landscape astride their bike in total relaxation will find a well-kept bicycle path network, within the reach of anyone.
