DISCOVERING ALPINE FLAVOURS BY MTB
Gusto 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.
Starting from the eBike Village, the tour passes through Morbegno historic centre and continues on the road to Val Gerola. “Gusto di Valtellina” then follows the Sentiero del Viandante, a 68 km route that runs along the eastern side of Lake Como. Back on the plain, the tour follows the country roads of the valley floor, short uphill stretches on the Costiera dei Cech and the Sentiero Valtellina back to Morbegno.
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), a historic cheese factory, the Parravicini palace in the centre of Traona and an ancient shop in Morbegno, where it will be possible to visit the deep cellars carved into the rock and take home a small taste of Valtellina!
The tour lasts about 3.30 hours and includes some sections of three of the most beautiful Valtellina bike and trekking paths: Sentiero del Viandante, Via dei Terrazzamenti and Sentiero Valtellina.
