Bike and MTB routes

Bicycle touring, historic climbs and MTB routes: from the Fiorida you can reach all the best bike routes simply by pedaling. The farm is the ideal starting point for bikers of all levels, because it allows you to rent ebikes directly on the spot and start short, medium or long cycling tours, adapted to everyone’s physical preparation.

Bike routes for bicycle tourists in Valtellina

From the La Fiorida farmhouse you enter directly, without vehicular traffic, the Sentiero Valtellina, the 114-km-long bike and pedestrian path that runs along the Adda River from Lake Como to Bormio and allows you to pedal through nature while passing through the landscape and the most beautiful villages in the province of Sondrio.

But at Fiorida you can also rent an ebike and venture out to explore the mountain trails in the surrounding mountains, or book guided bike tours with local experts to reach the best vantage points and local attractions.

MTB Routes

The Valtellina mountains offer plenty of opportunities for mountain bikers. Rent a MTB and set out to discover unique trails of varying difficulty to spend beautiful days immersed in nature: from Val Masino to Val Gerola, via the trails and paths of the Rhaetian side of the lower Valtellina, test yourself on the biker routes near the Fiorida.

Road biking and the great steps of cycling

For many years, Valtellina has hosted some of the most prestigious national and international cycling races, including the Granfondo Internazionale Marco Pantani, the Mapei Re Stelvio and, of course, the Giro d’Italia, which has helped consecrate its most iconic Alpine passes to the history of two wheels:

• the Stelvio Pass from Bormio, a 21.5-kilometer climb with an elevation gain of 1,500 m and gradients of up to 14 percent, several times the Cima Coppi of the Giro d’Italia;
• the Gavia Pass, with 1044 meters of elevation gain and an average gradient of 7% with peaks of 16%;
• the Mortirolo Pass, with the climb from Mazzo di Valtellina considered one of the toughest and most challenging in all of Europe (12.5 km to overcome 1,300 meters of elevation gain, with an average gradient of 10.5 percent and maximum gradient just under 18 percent), a destination for cyclists from all over the world.
