The historic center is a small pearl, well preserved, worth a visit.
from Wikipedia: Varzi (Vörs in Varzese dialect[4]) is an Italian municipality of 3,009 inhabitants in the province of Pavia in Lombardy. It is part of the circuit of the most beautiful villages in Italy. It is located in the Oltrepò Pavese, in a basin in the center of the Staffora valley, to the right of the homonymous stream, on the former state road 461 of the Penice Pass. Probably of Ligurian origin (the name contains the root var which - see the Var and Vara rivers - should mean river), Varzi has been known since 993, when it was a possession of the abbey of San Colombano di Bobbio.

Never miss the noise of the Staffora and its ravines, on which I recommend you stop and stay in silence to listen to Nature ...

Outward greenway Voghera Varzi. The return on country roads is nice. Be careful on the descent from Mutti: a very steep dirt road and, at least for us, full of mud. Section along the Staffora to return to Voghera alongside the very stony airfield... the greenway here is much better.

Very pleasant route in the Oltrepò Pavese, almost always well marked, all asphalt in average good condition (in some stretches excellent).
It is worth doing the same route as the outward journey also on the way back: the alternative is a busy state road and straight as a spindle, so everyone runs.

The outward route Voghera-Varzi is nice, a little more tiring but with a more beautiful view.

The route numbers are self-explanatory, easy due to the absence of significant elevation gain but long enough, there and back, to spend a pleasant day on a bike. The cycle path is in good condition, with numerous parks and picnic areas, a fair amount of drinking fountains. Well signposted although in some passages you need to follow the track to …

Thanks to the complete recovery of an old railway section, the Greenway Voghera-Varzi was born.
A route cared for down to the smallest details immersed in nature between hills and small villages.
On the route you can still glimpse the evidence of the old railway line and the almost total restoration of the old stations now used as accommodation facilities. …
