Discover Suello: cycle path, heritage and Val Cepelline

If you’re looking for a hotel in Suello, start by deciding what you want to focus on during your trip: cycling by the lake, local heritage and a meeting place for pilots are all right in town. For climbers, Val Cepelline offers another focus, with access via Suello.

Cycle path along Lago di Annone

The Ciclopedonale del Lago di Annone is 18 kilometres long, runs along the shore of Lago di Annone di Brianza and passes through Suello. It is part of the regional network known as “Ciclovia del laghi” or “Lake Cycle Trail”. The 18-kilometre distance is a concrete planning figure; the lakeside setting and route through town help you place the route in your travel plans. If you choose the path as the focus of your stay, factor its stated length into your own planning. Surface conditions may change, so check them before setting out.

Church, bell tower and washhouse

The Vecchia chiesa and its bell tower are designated as buildings of historical, architectural and landscape value, as well as points of reference for local history and tradition. The Lavatoio di via Maggiore is also designated as an object of historical, architectural and landscape value, as well as a point of reference for local history and tradition. This brings two distinct types of buildings into focus: a church with a bell tower and a lavatoio, or washhouse. If you’d like to shape your trip around local history and architecture, these named landmarks offer a specific theme to explore.

A meeting place for pilots

Suello has a landing site near the Cielo e Terra restaurant, which is an important meeting place for pilots. It was developed by local clubs, particularly Club Scurbatt and Aero Club Mt. Cornizzolo. The local pilot community is another possible focus for planning your trip. If you include the site in your plans, check the local procedures in advance; they may change.

Climbing at Val Cepelline

Val Cepelline is a broad, compact and relatively gently sloping climbing wall to the right of the large Cesana Brianza quarry. Climbing there is mainly done using friction and precision techniques on pleasantly porous rock. The shape of the wall and the climbing technique give you practical points to consider if climbing is to be the main reason for your trip.

To reach Val Cepelline from the SS36 Milano–Lecco, take the Suello exit and continue towards “Suello centro” as far as the town square. From there, continue via Via S. Quirico, the cemetery, Via S. Fermo and Via Manzoni to a car park. The footpath then follows the end of the road and a stream bed to a wide path signposted “Priell – M. Cornizzolo – San Pietro”; continue up the Via Crucis steps. Check current trail conditions before setting out.
