Another day of climbing and nature awaits you. Departure from the hotel to reach the beginning of the climb to the Cancano lakes: a challenging but not so hard climb will take you to an enchanted place where you will change and ride MTB in place of road bikes to discover the plateau full of mountain lakes, woods and alpine peaks. The packed lunch will be the ideal solution to fully enjoy this pure experience, before returning to the heart of Bormio. Then a good sport massage will relax your body just in time to going out and discover the ancient land of ancient crafts: the old history of this village will surprise you. At the end, our guides will leave you up to one of the oldest “grotto” in the area to have dinner on the last day.
