Enclosed between the Ticino and Sesia rivers, the northern Italian territory of the province of Novara is ideal for discovery on two wheels. A land of plains, hills and immense horizons stretching as far as the Alps, Novara offers ever-changing landscapes of incomparable beauty in every season of the year.

In this Collection, you’ll ride through lush nature characterised by water, the 'squared sea' of rice paddies and the wine hills. From the rows of the latter come excellent wines such as Nebbiolo and the prestigious Ghemme D.O.C.G. – an ideal accompaniment to traditional cuisine.

All around you is the Novara countryside, dotted with castles, sanctuaries and ancient villages rich in history and tradition, where small jewels of art and architectural masterpieces are hidden. These include the works that the great architect Alessandro Antonelli left as a testimony to his mastery in nine places visited on these Tours.

To fully enjoy each route, you’ll need a full day. However, if you have less time available, you can shorten the itineraries thanks to the railway stations on or near the route. At this link, you can find the regulations governing the transport of bicycles by train: trenitalia.com/en.html. The train is also a good alternative to the car for connecting from Novara and Milan to the departure and arrival points of the routes.
