    INTERREG. PROJECT

    The San Giacomo pass has a strong symbolic value for the area in which it is located, in fact it can be considered an umbilical cord of intense cultural and commercial exchanges between the two regions. Today, even more so, with a view to leisure and sport.

    The project we have involves the construction of a rest point for cyclists with some beds that will serve as support on a hiking route which will be even more popular with the development of the cycle path.

    The new cycle route corresponds to the missing link of a route that from Airolo, at the foot of the Gotthard Pass, will reach Lake Maggiore from where numerous other connections can be opened. The route will be marked with signs for around eighty kilometers and on the Italian side it will wind from Formazza along the Antigorio valley to Domodossola.

    In addition, the itineraries subject to valorisation are already signposted and used, no new construction interventions are foreseen. The renovation works are concentrated on the existing track or path (in the case of the Swiss section) and essentially consist of the restoration of the water management works, the control and arrangement of erosion phenomena, the restoration of the collapsed retaining walls as per the pre-existing typology, without alteration of the soil and minimal earth movements. The accommodations include naturalistic engineering techniques with the use of natural materials (stone and wood). The arrangement and regularization of the walking surface does not involve the use of materials (asphalt and bitumen) that reduce its permeability.

    The Riale-Passo San Giacomo track will continue to be closed to vehicular transit except for refugee workers, mountaineers, dam staff and the collective transport shuttle with bike trolley.

      Easy to climb with the E-MTB from Riale to Passo San Giacomo and continue along the flowing trail to Airolo
