Bringing Eroica and its people to Valposchiavo is like returning them to another natural home. With its aromatic essences, centuries-old roads and undoubtedly also smuggling routes beneath the glaciers of the southern Rhaetian Alps, this border region tells stories of simple, resilient people, full of belonging and hard work, respect and traditions, principles and the environment.
Eroica's routes often lead through vineyards, which are also heroic here, surrounded by unspoilt nature, on the shores of a lake, where people greet each other and where you can eat natural, high-quality food. Our approach to cycling will also be courteous and supportive, Nova Eroica Svizzera, cycling on gravel with our hearts in the right place.

A challenge for experienced cyclists, on a varied route with alpine gradients. Climb to the upper edge of the forest before crossing over – like the smugglers of old – into the heroic vineyards of Valtellina. The long final climb is made easier by the UNESCO Viaduct.
Gentle, challenging ups and downs on scenic dirt roads, among centuries-old fir forests. The snow-capped peaks of the Alps in the background.
A timeless bike ride in good company through fields of flowering wheat and extensive plantations of medicinal herbs, cultivated organically. Finally, the reflections of Lake Poschiavo.
