Cycling routes through the Merula Valley

For mountain biking enthusiasts, the route Giro dei borghi della Val Merula in MTB passes through San Bartolomeo, Bossaneto and San Lorenzo.

The mountain bike and road cycling routes therefore appeal to different forms of cycling. This distinction can be helpful when planning your trip if active days have a fixed place in your stay and you are weighing up a village route through the valley against a road cycling route that passes through Bossaneto.
