Pian di Spagna and Lake Mezzola Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Nice stretch of cycle path that alternates with small roads with little traffic, running alongside the Pian di Spagna reserve and Lake Mezzola.
Magnificent panorama, little slope and lots of peace.

Lake Mezzola (in Lombard Lagh de Mezzoeula) is located north of Lake Como, from which it is separated by the last course of the Mera river which flows in the western edge of Pian di Spagna, the last plateau of Valtellina formed by the deltaic sediments of the 'Adda and Mera itself. About 20% of Lake Como's water comes from this lake.
The Mera's inlet flow rate is around 20 cubic meters per second, outflow of around 24, thanks to the contribution of the other tributaries which, despite having a relatively short course, bring a fair volume of water to the lake.
In 2004 the Ministry of Health classified Lake Mezzola as non-swimming. The regional environmental agency in 2016 classified the chemical state of the lake as "not good", due to high concentrations of chromium and other metals.
From the government water health portal, in 2020 the samples in two points of the lake (in front of the Corsican campsite and South Arsena) gave excellent results for bathing.

Chiavenna's Old Town and the Mera River

Highlight • Settlement

The whole place is a dream. Definitely go there, it's worth it not just for a short detour. Numerous places with locations to stop off. Also a few shopping possibilities. The Castell in front of a spectacular rocky backdrop. The rock formed by ice and water is also a special picture for geologists, as is the course of the Mera river between the houses. In my opinion, highly recommended!

Cyclopedestrian Bridge over the Liro River

Highlight • Bridge

The Valchiavenna cycle path is a fascinating 40 km route that goes from Colico to the Swiss border (Val Bregaglia), passing through suggestive places such as Chiavenna, Piuro with its archaeological excavations, the Acquafraggia waterfalls and the Palazzo Vertemate Franchi. The route reflects the fusion of two cultures, offering a Central European atmosphere. In 2022, the Valchiavenna Cycle Path won 3rd prize at the Italian Green Road Awards.

Valchiavenna Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Cycle path that crosses Valchiavenna, very pleasant to ride and equipped with rest areas and fountains, which passes through various groves along the Liro.
Similar to the Sentiero Valtellina, it is worth passing through here instead of on the car roads.
