These routes have been divided into three categories based on the nature of the route:
- cycle and pedestrian paths in its own location for almost the entire route,
- cycle and pedestrian paths on main and secondary roads of easy accessibility
- cycle and pedestrian routes for Mountain Bike, mainly on dirt roads or paths in the countryside or in wooded areas, which also have challenging stretches.
The courses were updated in December 2012, also following the drafting of the "Varese, Tempo Libero nel Verde" Tourist Card, published by the Varese Province Tourism Agency in collaboration with the Territory and Urban Planning Sector and the Heritage and Architectural Heritage Sector. .
