Gravel riding

This Tour is the official route of the Tre valli varesine, a cycling event dedicated to the discovery of the territory of the lakes of Varese and the valley area, open to everyone and with every type of bicycle: mountain bike, gravel, e-bike.

The Tour develops on a fascinating route from a landscape point of view: you pedal starting from the Varese train station in complete immersion in nature, touching Lake Maggiore, Lake Varese and Lake Monate.

After an initial descent towards the valleys, you pedal safely alongside the lake, among woods, hazelnut groves and small villages, and then begin a fun segment of ups and downs in a unique setting.

The route is a mix of asphalt and dirt, and allows you to pass some unmissable sections such as the Brebbia-Monvalle cycle path, the former Sonnino roofing factory, the Quassa park, the villages of Ispra or Bardello, where a picturesque cycle-pedestrian bridge allows you to cross the river of the same name. With a final dirt climb you reach Varese again at the end of this unforgettable gravel loop.

Linden Avenue, Quassa Park

Highlight • Trail

The Quassa Park is located in an area far from high-flow roads and railways, which, in this stretch, move away from the shores of the lake. For this reason the park maintains remarkable quiet and naturalness which makes cycling even more evocative.

October 15, 2024,Tre Valli Varesine - Gravel Experience 🍺🍺
I decide for today to leave aside the "Turbolente" and "Piattoni" Milanese tracks to dedicate myself to something more challenging. We start from the very busy Varese but, after three bends I'm already on a narrow and safe road that then becomes a cycle path and takes me to the lake. I follow the cycle path to Gavirate and, after …

3rd edition (for me the 2nd) of the gravel exp. associated with the Granfondo 3 valli varesine. Nice event, with a refreshment point at the halfway point of the route (i.e. at the bar setteduequattro in Ispra) plus a meal voucher upon arrival at the Estensi gardens in Varese city. Some rough sections were more MTB-like... Just inside the woods …

The 3 Valli Varesine Gravel track was resumed and slightly modified. Departure from Capolago and not from Varese for logistical reasons... beautiful route, shame about the perpetual fog and Siberian temperatures 🥶 but the dirt part is worth it

Pleasant loop starting from the Varese Nord station with lots of trail in the woods, view of the lakes of Varese and Maggiore. Cycle path along the lake and a pleasant stretch from Besozzo along the Bardello river. To better face the day, a lunch on the shore of Lake Maggiore in Ispra is essential. As a digestive, a short …
