On the plain between Vercelli and Novara, the gravel embankments of the Cavour Canal cross flooded paddy fields that in spring become a vast mirror of water. A flat, silent landscape almost ignored by cycle tourism, where the effort is little and the wonder great.

North of the crowded Langhe, on the other bank of the Tanaro, the Roero offers badlands, woods and Arneis wineries without the tourist crush of its more famous neighbours. A gravel loop made of short but savage climbs and silent ridges, in the province of Cuneo.

On the border between Piedmont and Liguria, the Alta Via del Sale runs above 2,000 metres along an ancient military gravel road between Italy and France. Open only in the short summer window and with limited entry, it remains one of the wildest and most silent high-altitude routes in the Alps.

Between Savona and Acqui Terme, the Val Bormida is the Ligurian hinterland no one associates with the sea: border Apennine valleys with abandoned industrial villages, chestnut woods and silent towns. An itinerary for those seeking an unexpected, little-visited face of Liguria.

Following a single river from the Alps to the plains, the Oglio Cycle Route descends from Passo del Tonale through the Val Camonica and the lower Brescia countryside all the way to the Po, past rock carvings and peat bogs. A long, downhill journey far from Lombardy's overrun lakes.

A quiet greenway along the old railway beside the river Brembo, in a pre-Alpine valley an hour from Milan that almost no one chooses for cycling.

In the Val di Fiemme, Trentino, a cycle path follows the Avisio stream through the spruce forests that supply the wood for violins. It's the quiet alternative to the far more crowded cycle paths of the Val di Fassa and the Val Pusteria: the same Alpine quality, but without the crush.

The Sile, Europe's longest spring-fed river, flows through the Sile Park past mills and salt marshes to the northern lagoon of Venice. This is a silent, watery Veneto, ignored by the flows that besiege Venice: a flat, ever-so-slow cycle route just outside Treviso.

The Treviso-Ostiglia greenway follows a long former military railway that cuts a straight line across the Veneto plain between fields and hedgerows. Born for wartime reasons and never fully brought into regular service, today it is an almost ignored green corridor, outside every tourist circuit.
