テネロコントラのバイクパーク・トップ20

Coming from Mte Lego, a great Vrb trail to the Sentiero Collina Alta or to then whizz down to Brione sM. S3. Short video: https://youtu.be/-ADu8iED7Zs?si=nhF4V5qYcVUinvMS

Cross connection from the lowest section of the Cardada trail to the Sentiero Collina alto. Mostly S3, with S2 in between. Larger stones, a few high ledges (not rideable for me), and short, flowier sections in between. Overall, an exciting trail.

One of the most best ridge hikes of Switzerland: https://youtu.be/UWz8CDbwMV8

This point is an obligatory stop, because it is really worth it, for hikers who have decided to take the beautiful Tamaro->Lema crossing or vice versa Lema->Tamaro 😊

Can you see the Verzasca dam on the right? The opening scene of James Bond Goldeneye was filmed there. I'm referring to Pierce Brosnan's 300m deep bungee jump. In the film, the location was sold to the viewer as Belarus. Now you know better.

The route from Monterecchio to Passo Forcora on the crest (signposted as route 201) has some difficult stretches and is only recommended for experts, or you can get off the bike and cover long stretches by pushing. There are descents with pointy stones fixed to the ground and large roots. In addition, a long stretch of path is narrow track like the wheel covered by vegetation. The route from Passo Forcora to Monterecchio is easy.

Driven for the fourth time today. It's worth it again and again or more. The route was clean and passable again. The first third is a bit steep, but afterwards it's really flowing :-) But it needs some strength and technique. Driven with E-Bike All Mountain. I'm already looking forward to the next time :-)

We drove by car to the “Rivera” valley station and then took the train up to “Alpe Foppa”. Of course, the first thing to admire is the church of Santa Maria Degli Angeli. -- Quote from Google Earth Designed by world-renowned architect Mario Botta, the Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli is a masterpiece of contemporary architecture with paintings by Enzo Cucchi. A visit to the church is almost a "must", the mighty stone fortress on the mountain spur is more than a meditation room and offers the opportunity to read the surrounding landscape in a completely new way. The church is dedicated to Santa Maria degli Angeli. The building was built between 1992 and 1994 and follows a novel design approach for a place of worship. It is made of porphyry and stands on the edge of a slope from which an exceptional panoramic view opens up. The artistic design by Enzo Cucchi extends to the two main rooms: the ceiling of the transition, which is decorated with an elongated cypress, and the heart of the church. The intense blue apse takes up the theme of the offered hands, complemented by a series of twenty-two panels with Marian motifs above the windows. -- end quote The whole tour is a superlative and impresses with its all-round view. So plan for nice weather. In the high season, however, a lot of hiking traffic must be expected. So choose the right time. On Monte Lema you have to expect a crowded restaurant and not very motivated service. Therefore, it is not certain that you will be able to quench your thirst before you have to take the train down to the valley. Because there too you have to wait in line. Once you've arrived safely down in Miglieglia, it's possible that the queue for a bus back to "Rivera" will continue. We therefore recommend planning the tour well, finding out about the train and bus travel times and planning enough reserve time so that a missed train, bus or train connection does not spoil the beautiful day.
