ボスコ/グリンのおすすめライド

If you're driving up from Cevio, Cerentino is a good first stop. After a few nasty climbs, you can decide which valley end you'd like to head to: Cimalmotto in the Valle di Campo or Bosco Gurin in the Valle di Bosco Gurin. Both valleys are beautiful!

This is such a nice spot to rest, take a swim and ideal for camping but alas.... there is a 'no camping' sign. For camping, one can go right to the other end of the road.

As others have already said: It's tough, steep, and beautiful here! It's best to split the climb into shorter stages, so the 2,000 meters of elevation gain over 30 kilometers from Bignasco aren't quite as terrifyingly daunting. From Bignasco to Prato Sornico, it's rarely very steep. There are a few flat sections where you can pick up a decent pace. After Mogno (visit the church in Botta) and up to Fusio, things really get going for the first time. Many hairpin bends soften the incredibly nasty ramps, but your legs will still be tested here! Up to the Sambucco reservoir, it becomes truly idyllic, green, and quiet. There are a few tough climbs, but even here, the difficulty is still manageable. There's a fountain at the summer restaurant: fill up your bidons again, because there are only streams and gullies here. After the relaxing flat section by the lake, the final and most strenuous part of the climb follows. The scenery is stunning, but it's steep all the way to the top! Wow!

Idyllic and quiet location, great area

A beautiful lake, I was lucky enough to photograph it with the snow-capped mountains.

The town is placed in a beautiful position.
