Bicycle tourism is a great excuse to discover new places, even when practised as a sport.
At the Monte San Giorgio UNESCO World Heritage Site, the clock seems to have stopped around the Mesozoic era. Astonishing fossils such as Besanosaurus and Saltriovenator stare out towards prehistoric habitats and faunas.
On the other side of Valcherezio, the path to Punta Paradiso delivers breathtaking views over Lake Lugano. From this vantage point, the Italian-Swiss border seems a mere abstraction, but the fortifications along the Cadorna Line remind us that during wartime, perceptions were different: between Monte Orsa and Monte Pravello, miles of trenches, galleries, and heavy artillery positions are linked by military roads that are now tourist trails of great historical significance.
The Toboga mountain bike trail on the other hand, is strictly for sport enthusiasts: the bumps and parabolic curves on this exhilarating single track all point towards Porto Cherezio.
Pacro dell'Argentera is a riot of autumn colours, with its lively waterfalls and its mills decorated with frescoes, with the Valganna bicycle path nearby.

Parco Pineta and Valle Olona
The vectors of time and space cross paths between Parco Pineta and Valle Olona.
It is just a short hop from the Planetarium at the Tradate Science and Education Centre to the Torba Abbey. In its towers, faceless Medieval nuns interrogate us from the past. The Lombard imprint of the historical region of Seprio imbues the Valle Olona with the austere magnificence of these warriors from the north.
A small detour from the bicycle path that runs along the river reveals the private Renaissance of Castigliona Olona.
The steep Piccolo Stelvio climb tests the mettle of the cyclists heading for the sun-filled plateau featuring ancient lavoirs, monumental oak trees, and country chapels.
The banks of the Olona river and the Lanza torrent are dotted with silent traces of industrial archaeology, with the abandoned Val Morea railway running alongside the latter.
The rays of light in the Molera caves at Malnate and Cagno are a prelude to the scenic heights of Colle di San Matteo. Looking out over the valleys we have just cycled through, we immediately want to dive back in to discover new historical and natural attractions, all intimately linked to the local waterways.
