A biking vacation in Ticino in Switzerland can be described in one word: breathtaking. This is true for the beautiful mountain and hilly landscape as well as for the numerous trails and experiences waiting for you and your mountain bike. On two wheels, you discover the gentle banks of picturesque rivers and lakes, cross deep valleys and work your way up to the high peaks of the region's spectacular mountains. Together with your family and friends, you are sure to have an unforgettable time. Well – usually you’d have fun together – but sometimes that’s just not possible. This Collection is the result of an idea to defy Corona and have a great time together regardless, even if we can’t do it at the same time.
The idea is a kind of relay ride: The six komoot Pioneers Beat (komoot.de/user/193412189424), Moelipesche (komoot.de/user/276753923394), cadillac55555 (komoot.de/user/646385096062), Roger (komoot. de/user/41409704156), Rolf (komoot.de/user/103043249705) and Thilo (komoot.de/user/thilokraemer) ride six Tours – not at the same time, but one after the other. Where one Tour ends, the next one begins. This makes for a great stage ride through Ticino which can be easily followed. You have the choice to choose a stage every day or pick a single Tour - it depends on what you prefer and whatever fits your schedule. And, of course, all the Tours in this Collection are also fun when you’re not alone. Together with good friends or family, they’re even more fun.

After three demanding days…
