Quick ride by bicycle from Fili to Bol’shaya Setun’

Ready for a ride from Moscow’s west side? Set off from Fili, a bustling district famed for its riverside parks (check out Filevskiy Park if you have time!) and head southwest toward the quiet charm of Bol’shaya Setun’. It’s about 15 km of urban exploring, mostly on paved surfaces, weaving through local streets, park access roads, and just a splash of busy roadway.

You’ll pass by residential neighborhoods and catch some green views—perfect for easy cruising. There’s a gentle ascent and descent, so nothing too intense in terms of hills. The route’s a mix: around 65% well-paved, with just a few sections where you’ll want to keep an eye out for less-than-perfect surfaces.

Bol’shaya Setun’ feels like you’ve reached the city’s edge—a peaceful river valley with a vibe miles away from the metro crowds. It’s a great escape if you want to see the “other” side of Moscow. Bring a snack, roll at your own pace, and enjoy discovering a quieter part of the capital!
