With the arrival of the summer months, the flow of travellers choosing Italy for their holidays once again increases. Milan Bergamo Airport is a point of reference for Lombardy, connecting thousands of people with the most beautiful cities in the area. In recent years, due to the pandemic, which limited movement, a new user profile has emerged; a traveller who is sensitive to environmental matters and who chooses tangible solutions for reducing emissions, adhering to so-called “proximity tourism”. The beauties great and small that surround this user type form part of their itinerary, finding their own space among the more traditional destinations and attractions.
In this sense, the sustainable vocation that SACBO is gradually adopting seeks to lend a voice to this type of user, creating opportunities that allow the beauty of Bergamo and the surrounding area to be easily explored. The BGY bike office offers a workshop to allow riders to assemble their bikes transported with them on their flight and disassemble them before departing. The entire flow dedicated to bikers is a project that has seen the active involvement of SACBO, which in 2021 obtained CFE certification, becoming the first “bike-friendly” airport management company.
As explained in previous articles, the cycle route that departs from the terminal allows easy access to the city, meaning it can be explored in a new, unique and pollution-free manner. What’s more, the cycle route is connected to other main local routes that lead to the valleys of the Bergamasque Alps and allow visitors to explore the natural wonders and more that these destinations offer. The dedicated VisitBergamo infopoint can assist you and provide you with suggestions on places to see before you set off on your bike, plan your route and start pedalling!
We continue to look to the future: the rail infrastructure project that will see completion by 2026 will connect Milan Bergamo Airport to Bergamo in just a few minutes, expanding opportunities for travellers to move in an increasingly sustainable and intermodal manner.
