    Mountain biking

    Features fun hairpin bends to ride on the bike

    Mountain biking

    Tight, steep hairpin bends. Be especially careful in the cold winter months as ice can form on the tread. A beautiful yet challenging road for mountain bikers. It leads to the Val d'Intelvi and the balcony of Italy. If you prefer, you can then descend on the Italian side towards Argegno.
