A cycling and walking route following the course of the Ticino River, blending nature, engineering, and waterside landscapes.
The route starts from the bridge between Castelletto and Sesto Calende, where a peaceful trail begins, crossing fascinating environments far from traffic and immersed in the quiet atmosphere of the river.
Along the way, visitors encounter hydraulic structures that tell the story of the relationship between people and water: weirs, canals, and diversions that have powered mills, plants, and waterways for centuries.
The well-marked cycle path leads effortlessly towards the Tornavento area, offering enchanting views over the river landscape.
The return journey can become a new adventure by continuing to Oleggio railway station, crossing the iron bridge and following the quiet Via Vecchia Ticino, completing the loop through history, nature, and ancient connecting routes.
