The best cycling routes around Nova Milanese

Parco Nord Milano is a large regional protected area that extends for about 790 hectares in the northern suburbs of the metropolitan city, representing one of the main green lungs of Europe in an urban setting. Born in the 70s as an environmental redevelopment project of old industrial areas, formerly Breda, and degraded agricultural lands, today the park touches as many as seven municipalities in the Milanese suburbs. It is a very rich ecosystem made up of large meadows, artificial wooded areas, canals, and bodies of water, ideal for sports, walks, and outdoor relaxation.

The Autodromo Nazionale Monza, known as the "Temple of Speed", is one of the oldest and most prestigious permanent circuits in the world. Located within the Monza Park, it hosts the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix and numerous other motorsport and sporting events every year.

The Canale Villoresi cycle path crosses the Lombard countryside, running along the entire stretch of the Canale Villoresi, the historic waterway built for field irrigation in the late nineteenth century by the engineer Eugenio Villoresi. The canal draws water from the Ticino river, near Somma Lombardo, and after a course of 86 km returns it to the Adda river, near Groppello. It is an easy and flat cycle route, suitable for all types of bicycle and also suitable for families with children. An ideal place for a bike ride out of town, which allows you to discover the natural and landscape riches of the area. The route of the Canale Villoresi cycle path, flanking the course of the canal, is 85 kilometers long. It begins near the municipality of Somma Lombardo and ends near Cassano d'Adda,

Sometimes in the Park the vegetation takes on the character of a forest

The Villoresi Canal flows north of Milan for 86 km. It originates at the Panperduto Dams on the Ticino River and continues to the Adda River, where it flows into the Adda River near Cassano d'Adda, in the town of Groppello. From there, its waters are channeled through a special structure, depending on need, into the Adda River or the Martesana Canal. Along the way, the canal encounters several natural waterways—the Lambro, Olona, and Seveso, among the most well-known—with which it can exchange water if necessary. Numerous regional and intermunicipal nature parks also form the backdrop to the Villoresi River: the green vegetation blends with the blue waters, creating a natural environment ideal for tourism.
