La pista ciclabile dell'Alzaia Naviglio Grande è uno dei percorsi cicloturistici più famosi e frequentati della Lombardia, completamente pianeggiante e quasi interamente asfaltato. Il tratto classico e più battuto va da Milano (Porta Genova/Darsena) ad Abbiategrasso, per una lunghezza di circa 20-23 km (solo andata), ma l'itinerario completo può spingersi ben oltre lungo il Ticino fino a Turbigo o Oleggio, superando i 40-50 km.

The Naviglio Grande in Turbigo represents the operational starting point of the oldest navigable canal in Europe. Although the waters are historically diverted from the Ticino river at Tornavento, it is precisely in Turbigo that the watercourse becomes the continuation of the Industrial Canal and enters the heart of its 50-kilometer route towards the Darsena of Milan.

The cycle path along the Ticino river offers a fascinating naturalistic and historical route, extending mainly from Sesto Calende (VA) to Pavia, for about 100-120 km within the Ticino Park. It is an ideal destination for cycle tourism, also connected to the Naviglio Grande towards Milan and to routes like the Ciclovia Vento.

Villa Picchetta di Cameri, the stately seat and property of the Park, already mentioned in 16th-century documents, overlooks the Ticino valley. It is enriched by three gardens, the Octagon Room with its frescoes, and the East Room with an imposing fireplace. The historic building, acquired in 1989 thanks to the contribution of the Piedmont Region, was in the past the manor house of an ancient agricultural complex, Cascina Picchetta, consisting of rustic buildings and the villa itself, located at the center of the settlement, which still today is distinguished by the stately architectural features.
