ルガーノ湖でののおすすめグラベルライド

The lakeside promenade is worth a visit.

Below the (not very attractive) village of Pescia, which consists solely of villas, there's a bench off the main road that invites you to rest and gaze, provided there's not too much traffic. It offers beautiful views of Lake Lugano and the mountain range to the east, with Monte Generoso as the highest peak.

It's a great ride. Good road conditions and good visibility.

Very technical descent but with perfect asphalt.

Along the way there are wonderful views of Lake Como and Lake Lugano

After Cusino, the route descends without any further climbs to Carlazzo, where a magnificent series of elegantly curved switchbacks is a wonderfully smooth ride. The road surface is excellent (06/2025).

The final climb to the top of the pass in Buggiolo, over 4 serpentines, has a gradient of more than 20% - you have to pedal hard again here, but there aren't many meters of altitude left to overcome.

Wonderful spot by the lake - very quiet in the morning too.
