The Colle dei Pasta from Torre de' Roveri is one of the most classic and scenic cycling climbs and hiking routes in the Bergamasca area. The side that starts from Torre de' Roveri (Pittarello locality) is considered the most spectacular because it climbs through vineyards where the prized local wine is produced. Length: 2.7 kilometers Positive elevation gain: 162 meters Average gradient: 6% Maximum altitude: 416 meters a.s.l. The route develops on asphalt through 7 hairpin bends. The main roads involved are Via Papa Giovanni XXIII, Via Don Stefano Mangili, Via Colle dei Pasta and Via Collina Alta

From Bergamo, a cycle path starts that climbs up to the municipality of Val Bondione in the upper Seriana Valley. This stretch is on the border between Gorle and Ranica.
