Valsassina: The Valley of Cheese

Take in some fresh mountain air riding through this special valley, just 10km from Varenna! A short, panoramic climb will take you to the start of a scenic bike path through the entire valley, passing by several nature spots and rustic neighborhoods. There are many places to sample various mountain cheeses along the ride. We recommend stopping at the Alva market or at the Carozzi cheese shop for the perfect, authentic snack before descending to Lecco and heading back!
