Suello: Cycle Path, History and Surroundings

Suello: Cycle Path, History and Surroundings

The Ciclopedonale del Lago di Annone gives Suello a clear profile for anyone looking to combine a trip with exercise by the water. The 18-kilometre cycle path runs along the shore of Lago di Annone di Brianza, passes through Suello and forms part of the regional “Ciclovia del laghi” or “Lake Cycle Trail” network. Cycling is therefore a clear focus when planning your trip; at the same time, its integration into a regional network extends beyond the individual town.

Historical Sites in Suello

The Vecchia chiesa and its associated bell tower are located in the town itself. Both are designated as buildings of historical, architectural and landscape value, as well as points of reference for local history and tradition. For travellers interested in culture, together they form a central historical focus in Suello.

The Lavatoio di via Maggiore complements this focus. It is considered an object of historical, architectural and landscape value, as well as a point of reference for local history and tradition. Thus, alongside the cycle path, Suello offers several specific sites connected with local heritage.

Mountain Landscapes and Cultural Destinations in the Surrounding Area

The immediate surroundings of Suello include two differently classified geographical features: Cornizzolo is a mountain, while Monte Rai is a peak. Both complement the town’s attractions with landscapes, without conflating their categories.

The cultural destinations in the surrounding area also offer different points of interest. The Museo Etnografico Dell'Alta Brianza is located near Suello. The surrounding area also includes the Palazzo Belgioioso palace, the Musei Civici Museo di Scienze Naturali and the Palazzo Secchi palace. The themes therefore range from ethnographic and natural history museums to palaces.

Val Cepelline: Climbing and Access

Val Cepelline is a broad, compact and relatively gently sloping climbing wall to the right of the large quarry at Cesana Brianza. Climbing there mainly involves friction and precision techniques on pleasantly porous rock.

The approach to Val Cepelline from the SS36 Milano–Lecco is via the Suello and “Suello centro” exits to the town’s piazza. From there, it continues via Via S. Quirico, the cemetery, Via S. Fermo and Via Manzoni to a car park. From there, the footpath follows the end of the road, crosses a stream bed and continues along a wide path signposted “Priell – M. Cornizzolo – San Pietro”, as well as via the Via Crucis steps.

There is a landing site in Suello at the Cielo e Terra restaurant. It is an important meeting point for pilots and was developed by local clubs, particularly Club Scurbatt and Aero Club Mt. Cornizzolo. This adds another specific site to the cycle path, history, museums and climbing.
