VALTELLINA BY GRAVEL
SONDRIO
SEPTEMBER 21/22, 2024
What is Gravellina
A gravel ride on rural roads, which in autumn are buzzy: the harvest is near, the apples are ripe. Farmers and winemakers have a lot of work to do (stop by and say “Hi!”).
A track to follow in a landscape where man and nature coexist in a mutually fruitful relationship, like the stones of the dry-stone-walls that support the heroic viticulture terracing. On the trail, with the Alps all around: villages, castles, churches and the Valtellina locals.
A lighthearted ride, with a few climbs that – actually – make your heart race. The surface is a fun mix of dirt and paved roads, some singletrack and a few sections on asphalt.
A weekend in Valtellina: you, your bike, a sferzate of butter and a glass of wine to cheer with many new friends.
THE ROUTESYOUR GRAVELLINA
Gravellina is Gravellina because of you, with your bike, in Valtellina. Choose the tour for you, ride, chat, eat. Live Gravellina.
Gravellina is also for those who don’t (yet) have a gravel bike: Parco Bartesaghi, a fresh, green area on the Adda river, is the place to listen to music, dance, play, and posà (from the Valtellinese dictionary: to take a break, a pause, more or less long, that interrupts the continuity of an activity, and spec. of a fatigue).
