Valchiavenna
Easy road bike ride. Suitable for all levels of training. Mostly paved surfaces and easy to bike on.
A short but intense climb, a favorite of local cyclists to warm up their legs before continuing on to the Spluga Pass.
The small village in the hamlet of Fraciscio, home of saint Don Luigi Guanella, is characterized by a welcoming atmosphere and the hospitality of its inhabitants.
Lying on the orographic right bank, this alpine nucleus has preserved in many ways those elements that make it special in the eyes of those seeking an intimate and authentic mountain resort. Here time passes marked by human references, different from those that condition instead the day of the more classic tourist destinations.
