The best running trails around Monza

The Villoresi canal takes water from the river Ticino, in the locality of Panperduto, in the municipality of Somma Lombardo. After travelling 86 kilometers, through the provinces of Milan and Monza Brianza, it flows into the river Adda in the municipality of Cassano d’Adda. Construction work began in 1881 and was completed in 1891 based on the project by Eugenio Villoresi. Originally intended exclusively for irrigation, following the crisis in crops related to 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 routes, which are free of difficulties, accessible to everyone and certainly of interest, are part of the investments made to enhance the towpaths of the waterways, and are also considered a fast connection route between the various Municipalities touched by the canal.

The Vedano Entrance (also known as Porta di Vedano) is one of the three main gates of the Monza Park. It is located in the municipality of Vedano al Lambro along via Enzo Ferrari / via Santo Stefano. This specific entrance is world-famous because it leads directly to the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, the renowned "Temple of Speed" of Formula 1.

Viale Cavriga is the main road artery that crosses the southern area of the Parco di Monza from east to west, connecting the Porta di Monza (Villa Reale side) with the Porta di Villasanta. 2.2 kilometers long, the road is famous for its historic perspective telescopes and for hosting important landmarks such as the Ponte sul Lambro, the Cascina Cavriga (home to a bar-restaurant) and the Scuola Agraria.

Cascina San Fedele is an important historic building in the Neo-Gothic style located within the Monza Park. Designed in 1809 by court architect Luigi Canonica, the structure stands on a natural hill and is distinguished by its eclectic decorations. Gothic materials and marbles from the demolished church of Santa Maria di Brera in Milan were reused for the main facade.

The starting point of the Canale Villoresi cycle path in Monza is located at Viale Lombardia 4A (at the intersection with the canal), and from there you can move towards the cycle path or towards the center.
