Embark on a moderate touring bicycle loop from Magnago to Robecco sul Naviglio, covering 31.7 miles (51.0 km) with a gentle 436 feet (133 metres) of elevation gain, typically taking around 3 hours and 6 minutes. This route guides you through the serene Ticino Park and along the historic Naviglio Grande, offering a blend of natural beauty and architectural wonders. You will cycle past significant landmarks like the Church of Saint Mary in Binda, which even provides a water refill point, and the impressive eighteenth-century Villa Clerici in Castelletto di Cuggiono.
This touring bicycle route is largely on paved surfaces, making it accessible for most cyclists, though its moderate difficulty suggests you should have good fitness. The area around Robecco sul Naviglio is notably flat, ensuring a comfortable ride with minimal strenuous climbs. Since the trail is designed for touring cyclists, it's ideal for a leisurely day trip, allowing you to soak in the sights without rushing. Consider starting in the morning to enjoy the full experience and avoid the midday sun, especially during warmer months.
The trail truly lives up to its name, showcasing a rich tapestry of history with numerous churches, villas, and castles. As you follow the Naviglio Grande, you will discover "villas of delight" in Robecco sul Naviglio, built between the 15th and 18th centuries, such as Villa Gaia Gandini and Palazzo Archinto, also known as "Il Castello." The canal itself is a central feature, not just for its scenic paths but also for the chance to spot wildlife like herons, swans, and ducks, particularly between Tornavento and Nosate.
