From the town of Marone, located a few kilometers north of the municipality of Sulzano, several cycle paths depart, including the Panoramic Road specifically designed for cycling enthusiasts and runners. By the end of April 2023, the Brescia Bergamo Cultura cycle path will be completed, which extends for 76 km. The cycle path will be "a thread that allows you to experience the immersion in the cultural landscape between the two cities". Along the route, in total, you will cross 27 municipalities with the possibility of visiting a total of about 800 assets of historical and cultural interest (historical centers, villages, museums, monasteries, castles, villas, farmhouses, mills, dams, industrial archaeology settlements, etc...), 3 regional parks (Colli di Bergamo, Serio and Oglio Nord), 3 parks of supra-municipal interest and the Torbiere del Sebino Nature Reserve.
