Road bike
Ride above the Serio
4–5 hours · Hard · 70 km
Seventy kilometres of quiet valley road and one climb that decides how the rest of the day goes.
4-night escape · Road cycling
Ride the Orobie
Four nights, three rides, one valley that almost nobody rides.
Three route days from the door, with the climbs that locals actually ride and none of the traffic you get further east.
Bike storage, a workstand, and somewhere to put wet kit.
Who it's for
Riders comfortable with long climbs and full days in the saddle.
