Discover the Adda river area

The Adda river is one of the protagonist of our territory. It borns in the Rhaetian Alps and flows along Valtellina to enter into Lake Como and then get out of it in Lecco as an emissary forming Lake Garlate and Lake Olginate. He continues gently on its way and you can walk alongside the Alzaia to Brianza and to Milan. The cycle pedestrian route along the Adda river is a great destination for a slow tourism, immersed into nature and archaeological sites of interest. You can also visit the Ecomuseo of Leonardo da Vinci and experience the North Adda Regional Park, with its rich flora and fauna in complete relaxation to suit your taste.
Discover the Adda river and all the many and different opportunities it offers you!
