그란다테 주변 최고의 교통량 없는 자전거 라이딩 코스

Lura는 약 400m 고도에서 Uggiate con Ronago 시의 이탈리아-스위스 국경 근처에서 시작되는 롬바르디아의 개울입니다. Lura의 총 길이는 46.2km이고 유역 면적은 120km²이며, 오늘날 Olona 강의 가장 큰 지류입니다.

폐선된 철도에 있는 페달 구동식 오래된 철도 카트.

Bridge that allows access to a small piece of gravel road that runs alongside the road with cars.

Bridge over a canal near the Lura stream between Cadorago and Bulgorello (CO)

be careful of the wooden step which can be slippery if wet and the nice climb/descent before/after on the bridge

You approach the route of the former Valmorea Railway, with its disused station and enter the cycle path that heads towards the real Gurone Dam, a structure 12 metres high above the river level and 156 metres long, built between 2004 and 2009 and capable of generating a reservoir of more than a million cubic metres. The construction was necessary because this stretch of the valley has always been subject to flooding from the Olona (around 70 have been recorded since the 15th century), such as the most recent ones in 1995 and 2002. The cycle path now climbs along its embankments with an almost linear route and a gradient of almost 12%, built in this way so as not to interfere with the structure of the dam and its hydraulic characteristics. Once you reach the top, be careful on the descent. After reaching the closest point to the river, you start following the railway again, of which you can see sections of tracks in the woods. Now on the right we have the Pedemontana motorway and you cycle in one of the tunnels created during its construction. You can now reach the small public garden equipped with a rack with e-bike charging and a self-repair kit or, keeping to the left at the roundabout and crossing the provincial road, you head south. We are in the Lozza plain, which you cross on the side of the railway embankment with a long straight stretch before arriving at a narrow peninsula formed on the left by the Olona and on the right by the Selvagna stream. After crossing the stream, the path goes to the side of the provincial road to enter Castiglione Olona. On the right, the railway system of the former station opens up, where you can still see some carriages. At the crossing, keep left to continue on the cycle path, while instead you will go to the right to reach the historic village.

This cycle path connects the Swiss border with Castellanza, it develops between the Lanza Valley and the Olona Valley in a succession of natural environments, evidence of human work and truly surprising historical-architectural sites. The chosen direction, from North to South, allows you to travel downhill on the sections with greater slopes.
