“Zero” describes both the kilometres travelled by the delightful products you'll get to sample and the balance between the calories expended and consumed at the conclusion of this tour. A cycling adventure tailored for enthusiasts of both two wheels and exceptional cuisine. It's designed for those who value sustainability, the authenticity of locally sourced products, and the short supply chain.
Take a leisurely pace and explore the flavours of the Terme di Comano valley on two wheels. The tour begins with an uphill ascent, allowing your legs to gain momentum. After soaking in the scenery of Stenico and its hamlets, descend through the Limarò gorge and traverse the streets nestled amid wheat fields, leading to the Lomaso region, known for its mountain potatoes. Pedal along the verdant Val Lomasona, passing through charming farming villages, some of Italy's most picturesque. You'll encounter yet another regional delicacy: Bleggio's walnut salami, a true gem and a Slow Food presidium! Subsequently, a long descent amid walnut trees and fields returns you to your starting point. KilometroZero: the very first tour with a calorie-neutral outcome. An immersive exploration of the valley's culinary traditions, one you can repeat without any guilt!
