The Small Ring is the ideal choice for those who want to experience Franciacorta in a simple and authentic way. Cycle through rolling hills dotted with vineyards, enjoy views of Lake Iseo, and stop at the Torbiere del Sebino, where nature reveals itself in all its splendor.

As you climb the hills that form the morainic amphitheater, the view opens up to the north over Lake Iseo, with its waters reflecting the sky, and to the south over the plains stretching out in a play of perspectives that makes every ride perfect for families or cyclists seeking a stress-free yet exciting outing, enriched by the chance to taste excellent food and wine, an authentic expression of this unique region.

The route is designed to be comfortably accessible by train, thanks to the stations serving the main starting points. Let’s start from Bornato train station.
The area is at its best in spring, when the fields turn green and the flowers bloom, and in autumn, when the vineyards are tinged with red and gold.
The route is not signposted on the ground, but it is possible to download the GPX tracks from the dedicated page, so visitors can enjoy the adventure in complete freedom and safety.
