Sortie rapide à vélo de Bormio à Cepina

Looking for a gentle ride in the Valtellina valley? Set off from the charming alpine town of Bormio, famous for its thermal baths and a starting point for some of Italy’s most iconic cycling climbs. Instead of heading for the big mountains, this 4.4 km route rolls south toward Cepina, making it a perfect warm-up or a relaxed afternoon outing.

With a mild descent and just over 30 meters of climbing sprinkled in, you’ll mostly cruise on smooth asphalt, enjoying safe cycleways and quiet local roads. The views are pure Alpine magic—think tumbling rivers and dramatic peaks in the distance. As you arrive, Cepina greets you with authentic mountain village vibes; it’s quieter than Bormio, but just as welcoming.

This route is ideal if you want a taste of the high mountains without breaking a sweat—or if you need a mellow leg-stretcher before tackling bigger adventures nearby.
