Tips from the Community
The cycle path in the Brembana Valley, the Ciclovia Valle Brembana, largely follows an old railway line that was closed in 1966 because it had become unprofitable due to increasing motorization: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrovia_Valle_Brembana In the 2000s, the former railway line was asphalted and converted into a great cycle path. The many illuminated tunnels make cycling here an experience!

In all tunnels of the cycle way of Val Brembana you should have appropriate lights as they are quite dark. In addition the best option is to have photochromatic glasses as entering in sunglasses can be dangerous as you see almost nothing. The road quality in each tunnel is quite good, but it is usually wet due to water infiltration. During summer the cool temperatures inside are to be enjoyed, but in other seasons it is cold there, so you have to be prepared with suitable clothing.

There is a small fountain 50m away. Very quiet place except for the noise of some cars (but it is really worth it)
