The Canale Villoresi cycle path crosses the Lombard countryside, running along the entire stretch of the Canale Villoresi, the historic waterway built for field irrigation in the late nineteenth century by the engineer Eugenio Villoresi. The canal draws water from the Ticino river, near Somma Lombardo, and after a course of 86 km returns it to the Adda river, near Groppello.

The Villoresi Canal flows north of Milan for 86 km. It originates at the Panperduto Dams on the Ticino River and continues to the Adda River, where it flows into the Adda River near Cassano d'Adda, in the town of Groppello. From there, its waters are channeled through a special structure, depending on need, into the Adda River or the Martesana Canal. Along the way, the canal encounters several natural waterways—the Lambro, Olona, and Seveso, among the most well-known—with which it can exchange water if necessary. Numerous regional and intermunicipal nature parks also form the backdrop to the Villoresi River: the green vegetation blends with the blue waters, creating a natural environment ideal for tourism.
