Giro veloce in bici da Milano a Chiaravalle

Route: Milan to Chiaravalle

Looking for a laid-back ride out of the city? Starting from the vibrant streets of Milan, this 11 km cycling route takes you south to Chiaravalle, famous for its stunning medieval abbey (the Abbazia di Chiaravalle) nestled in peaceful countryside.

Expect mostly paved surfaces on a mix of quiet roads and cycleways, so it’s a comfortable trip, even for casual cyclists. You’ll roll out of Milan’s urban buzz, passing through a series of serene green spaces and open fields, with just a gentle ascent before you cruise gently downhill toward Chiaravalle.

End your ride at the Abbazia—an architectural gem founded by Cistercian monks in the 12th century and still surrounded by farmland. Grab a moment to soak in the tranquility and maybe snack on some local farm treats before heading back.

This route is perfect if you want to escape city traffic for a couple of hours and enjoy a taste of rural Lombardy, all while barely breaking a sweat!
