H 10.00 a.m.
EasyGusto di Valtellina is the gastronomic tour of Valtellina Ebike Festival. The route is designed for those who want to spend a nice day enjoying the typical Valtellina cuisine. A pleasant 20 km excursion through the valley floor, terraced vineyards, churches and ancient monasteries, with refreshment points along the way where you can enjoy local food and wine.
The itinerary starts from the ebike Village, passing through Morbegno, and continues along a route on the valley floor, following the Sentiero Valtellina, the cycle path linking Colico and Bormio, and the country roads, linking the Orobic and Rhaetian sides. A bit of ascent on the Costiera dei Cech and the return towards Morbegno is along the Adda river, passing through the historic centre of the city of Bitto.
The food and wine stops are at some of the most evocative places along the route: the monastery of San Pietro in Vallate (dating back to 1078 A.D., it is one of the Epic Spots of VEF2022), the Latteria Sociale Valtellina, an historic cheese factory and the Parravicini palace in the centre of Traona.
The tour lasts about 4 hours and includes some sections of three of the most beautiful Valtellina bike and trekking paths: Via dei Terrazzamenti and Sentiero Valtellina.
