Ciclovia delle Valli Bolognesi is a route designed for e-MTB and it is based on 3 major itineraries crossing the territory of Savena and Idice valleys: Via Flaminia Minor with its wide landscapes and views, Via del Fantini with its geological formations and Via Mater Dei with its religious sanctuaries.
Ciclovia delle Valli Bolognesi connects the previous itineraries in a loop, passing by the main points of interest: the Abbadessa badlands, the Monte delle Formiche sanctuary, the Croara chalks area, the ruins of the Madonna of Settefonti, the Loiano Astronomical Park and the Monte Bibele Archaeological Park.
The Ciclovia is a 147-kilometer-long circuit – about 33 percent on dirt roads – divided in three stages: from Ozzano to Monterenzio, 48 km, from Monterenzio to Loiano, 44 km, and from Loiano to Ozzano, 55 km. This division is indicative and everyone will be able to break up the route as preferred, counting on an extensive and well-distributed network of services and accommodations.
The itinerary can be cycled in both directions.
The implementation of the project was co-financed by the Local Promotion Tourism Program of the Bologna – Modena Tourist Territory with resources from the Regione Emilia-Romagna (BANDO P.T.P.L. 2023).
