The best traffic-free bike rides around Vittuone

In Robecco sul Naviglio, the most famous and strategic public fountain for cyclists and runners is located directly along the Alzaia of the Naviglio Grande, near the historic Osteria da Ripa and a few meters from the characteristic pedestrian bridge of the town. It is a fundamental resting point for those traveling the cycle path, especially on hot days, as water supply points are scarce in that stretch of canal.

The former Church of San Bernardo in Morimondo (MI) is a building of medieval origin dating back to the 12th century. Located in Via Roma, 8, at the entrance to the historic center, it is a private and currently deconsecrated structure, which preserves the original flat apse and a Lombard terracotta bell tower. The building, which once served as the parish church for the settlement under the guidance of the monks, has a single-nave layout heavily renovated at the end of the 17th century. Today, the former church is one of the first evocative stops in the village and overlooks the cobblestones leading to the nearby and more famous Abbey of Santa Maria di Morimondo. Together with the surrounding rural dwellings, it forms a picturesque view greatly appreciated by visitors exploring the area.

The Bridge of Cassinetta di Lugagnano is one of the most characteristic and historically significant monuments located along the Naviglio Grande, in the metropolitan city of Milan. Originally built of granite, the structure dates back to the 17th century, erected during the Spanish rule of the Duchy of Milan to connect the two historic centers divided by the canal. The bridge historically unites Lugagnano (on the right bank, of Roman origin) and Cassinetta (on the left bank, of medieval design). The bridge was completely rebuilt in a donkey-back shape in May 1862. This intervention became necessary both to repair the damage from the wars of independence (such as the nearby Battle of Magenta in 1859) and to facilitate the transit of commercial barges on the Naviglio.

The Naviglio Grande stretch in Castelletto di Cuggiono is one of the most evocative and intact historical and natural sights of the entire Ticino Park. Located in the province of Milan, this ancient river village seems suspended in time and is an ideal destination for walks, cycle touring, and relaxation away from the city chaos.

The High-Speed Cycle Path (T.A.V.) is a route of about 26 km that runs parallel to the Milan-Turin railway line. In Boffalora sopra Ticino, the path ends (or begins) on the bridge over the Naviglio Grande, connecting directly to the cycle route of the Naviglio itself.

L'Alzaia del Naviglio di Bereguardo is the historic towpath, today transformed into a splendid cycle-pedestrian path of about 19 kilometers, which runs along the artificial canal of the same name. It connects Castelletto di Abbiategrasso (where the canal originates, branching off from the Naviglio Grande) to the municipality of Bereguardo, finally flowing into the Ticino river. Built in the 15th century at the behest of the Dukes of Milan (the Visconti first, then the Sforza), the canal served as a fundamental commercial route (particularly for salt and cheeses) to connect the city to the Po river and the sea.

Great beautiful cycle path on the Ticino Park

Villa Clerici on the Naviglio Grande (also known as Palazzo Clerici or Il Castelletto) is one of the most majestic and extensive noble villas located along the Naviglio Grande canal. It stands in Castelletto di Cuggiono, in the province of Milan, perched on a natural spur overlooking a bend in the canal. It stands on the remains of an ancient medieval fortress from the 10th century, transformed in the 16th century into a residence of the Crivelli family. In 1658, the property passed to the wealthy Clerici family of bankers and merchants. The Clerici invested enormous fortunes in the complex. They wanted the facade to have 365 windows (one for each day of the year) and 12 balconies (like the months) to flaunt their wealth in front of the local nobility. In the 19th century, due to the family's economic collapse, the structure was sold and adapted first into a spinning mill and weaving factory, entering a long period of semi-abandonment. In 2026, an important private recovery project was initiated.
