Urban bike paths transition seamlessly into pure cycling flow as the track follows the historic Naviglio Martesana canal northeast. This flat, traffic-free greenway provides efficient, high-speed rolling past ancient stone locks and elegant riverside estates.
After crossing the wide Adda River, the route points straight toward the sharp pre-alpine skyline. The terrain remains completely flat for effortless cruising until the final kilometres. The stage delivers a spectacular finale with a short, punchy cobblestone climb up into Bergamo’s majestic Città Alta, framed by massive UNESCO-listed Venetian walls.
