Parco Rile Tenore Olona (RTO), located between the provinces of Varese and Como, is famous for its dense network of woodland paths, vicinal roads, and historic winding connections that skirt the streams and climb the terraces of the Olona Valley. Among the most iconic road sections and routes that fit this description, the renowned "Piccolo Stelvio" in Gornate Olona stands out, an asphalted road within the park known to all cyclists for its close hairpin bends that recall the famous alpine pass in miniature.

The Valmorea Railway, inaugurated in 1926, was an international line that connected the north of Milan with Mendrisio. The Valmorea station was the border station. After just two years, however, the fascist regime decreed its closure. Until 1977, only two short sections remained in operation that served some local factories. Today, thanks to the Friends of the Valmorea Railway Association, the Valmorea railway can be traveled from Mendrisio to Malnate Olona. The 7.5 km of track have been renovated for tourist use: on rare occasions it is possible to travel the route on vintage trains.
