Your guide
I have always loved water, I consider it my element. I have been practising river sports since I was 14 years old. After discovering canoeing during a summer at the seaside, once back in Valtellina I enrolled in a canoe course and then the discovery of rafting led me to become the youngest FIRAFT Rafting Guide in Italy.

Full description
If you love cycling and nature, you cannot miss our e-bike tour through the Sassella vineyards. It will be your chance to get to know an area characterised by terraced vineyards and enchanting views.
On board an e-bike, a pedal-assisted bicycle, you will cross the footbridge over the Mallero river and admire the Big Bench in Triangia, a rotating bench that is part of the Big Bench Community Project, set up to promote local tourism and artisan excellence.
In short, you will visit the most evocative places in Valtellina that we are sure will remain in your heart. We are waiting for you!
What we will do
The appointment is in Castione Andevenno, in the province of Sondrio. We will be welcomed by a guide who will provide us with the e-bike and briefly illustrate the route we are going to take.
We will then get on the bike to cross the wonderful footbridge over the Mallero, a suspension bridge over the river of the same name. After about 30 minutes of pedalling, we will stop to admire the Big Bench in Triangia, a huge bench built as a symbol of tourism and local craftsmanship.
We will ride along the Via dei Terrazzamenti, a 70-km-long path of terraced vineyards, which touches several villages in the province of Sondrio. Along this route, we will stop at an affiliated structure for a tasting of 4 wines with a light lunch of cured meats and cheeses, which will also introduce us to the Valtellina from a food and wine point of view.
Finally, we will visit the "Sassella" area, where the wine of the same name, appreciated all over the world, is produced, before returning to our starting point. The excursion lasts a total of 6 hours, including 4 hours by e-bike and 2 hours of wine tasting.
