Tips from the Community
The cycle path in the Brembana Valley, the Ciclovia Valle Brembana, largely follows an old railway line, which was decommissioned 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 an experience!

Great for gravel cycling and MTB, beautiful scenery, but be ware there are 2-3 horror parts to lookout for. Thankfuly they are only 2-3m long so they are irrelevant all over. Highly recomended for all.

Stunning view, we hope they restore the old bridges because they are really beautiful, a suggestive passage. Remember your lights, the tunnels are lit but they would help other cyclists see you better!

Connecting pass between Valseriana and Valcavallina. The climb from Casazza is a classic of the Lombardy climbs. Route also taken by some stages of the Giro d'Italia and the Giro di Lombardia. At the pass is the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Ciclista (with an adjacent small cycling museum), once called Madonna della Neve.

Originally, the current Sanctuary dedicated to the "Madonna dei ciclisti" (Our Lady of Cyclists) was called "Madonna della Neve" (Our Lady of the Snow). Being a classic uphill route, also for some stages of the Giro d'Italia and Giro di Lombardia (in addition to many other minor races), it was later named so towards the end of the last century, considering that a small cycling museum was also created next to the church. To which, well-known cycling professionals donated their memorabilia.
