Tips from the Community

Stenio Melani
June 22, 2026, Ciclabile del Canale Villoresi

The Villoresi canal draws water from the Ticino river, in the locality of Panperduto, in the municipality of Somma Lombardo. After traveling 86 kilometers, in the provinces of Milan and Monza Brianza, it flows into the Adda river in the municipality of Cassano d’Adda. Construction work began in 1881 and was completed in 1891 to a design by Eugenio Villoresi. Originally intended exclusively for irrigation purposes, following the crisis of crops connected with silk production, the canal now allows water distribution in a plain area of approximately 85,000 hectares, through a network that totals about 3,000 kilometers. The paths, free of difficulties, accessible to everyone and certainly of interest, are part of the investments made to enhance the towpaths of the waterways, and should also be considered a fast connection route between the various Municipalities bordering the canal.

The intersection between the Olona river and the Villoresi Canal occurs in the Alto Milanese area, specifically between the municipalities of Parabiago, Nerviano, and San Vittore Olona. This area is characterized by the intersection of local cycle paths (such as the Olona Greenway) and the long irrigation canal, offering naturalistic and historical routes.

Little traffic, always in the shade and therefore often muddy, but it is a small oasis of pleasant nature

The Villoresi Canal cycle path runs through the Lombardy countryside, along the entire length of the Villoresi Canal, the historic waterway built for irrigation in the late 19th century by engineer Eugenio Villoresi. The canal draws water from the Ticino River near Somma Lombardo and, after an 86 km journey, returns it to the Adda River near Groppello.
