The unique hallmark of our proposal is its immediacy: your experience begins right at Orio al Serio, at Milan Bergamo Airport (BGY). We have redefined hospitality for the modern cyclist, transforming the airport from a mere transit point into a premier gateway to our region. By eliminating downtime and stressful transfers, we get you in the saddle the moment you land: your adventure through nature and history starts exactly here. This journey offers a cycling experience immersed in beauty and tranquility, following one of the most evocative routes through the Bergamo plains. The tour winds along the Serio River, crossing lush landscapes, cultivated fields, and authentic vistas that tell the centuries-old story of the bond between water, agriculture, and local heritage. The beating heart of the itinerary is Malpaga Castle, one of Lombardy’s most iconic historic residences. Its walls preserve the charm of 15th-century court life and are inextricably linked to the famous captain Bartolomeo Colleoni. Under his rule, the castle became a vibrant cultural hub, hosting illustrious guests such as King Christian I of Denmark. Today, its magnificent frescoed halls still offer an extraordinary journey through the region's historical and artistic memory. Located within the medieval village is the Locanda dei Nobili Viaggiatori, a place where Bergamo tradition meets a passion for quality and culinary creativity. Here, you can savor simple dishes inspired by ancient recipes alongside more refined offerings designed to satisfy the most demanding palates, all while highlighting excellent local ingredients. Guests can dine in the charming indoor rooms, featuring exposed stone and an atmosphere reminiscent of ancient manors, or choose the outdoor seating with a view of Malpaga Castle,a unique setting that makes every meal a memorable experience. The tour is designed to offer a perfect balance of sport, nature, and heritage, while maintaining the highest standards of hospitality and quality. You will be accompanied throughout the journey by a Professional Cycling Guide, an expert who, in addition to ensuring safety and support, will illustrate the landscape and historical curiosities found along the banks of the Serio. This is the ideal choice for those who wish to discover the true soul of the Bergamo area, starting strategically from its primary hub.

Land at BGY, jump in the saddle, and let history guide you.
