古い線路跡は、今日では非常に美しいサイクリングロードになっています。

モンテ・ラウラは、ロヴェレドの上方約1,400メートルの高さにあります。この小さな集落へは、村から曲がりくねった道を通ってアクセスでき、斜面に点在しています。ここからはミソックスの美しい景色を眺めることができ、谷の喧騒からすぐに離れることができます。

Station, Grono - (1907-2013) History of the BM With the inauguration of the new San Bernardino motorway (1970), the small, narrow-gauge Mesolcina railway, with no direct connection to the nearby Gotthard railway, appeared obsolete. Starting in 1972—amidst lively protests from the Moesa population—passenger service was discontinued and replaced by P.T.T. buses. After the loss of three out of five electric locomotives due to serious accidents (1969) and the damage to the Soazza-Mesocco section in the 1978 flood, the length of the railway line was significantly reduced on the Castione-Cama stretch. The Rhaetian Railway (which had absorbed the BM between 1942 and 1943 during the severe economic crisis) decided to store its rolling stock in a disused factory in the Grono industrial area, which became a large depot and workshop for overhauling the bogies. This space will be the starting point for the redevelopment of what remains of the Bellinzona-Mesocco electric railway for tourism. In 1985, the Friends of the Mesolcinese Railway Association (AAFM) was founded, and in the summer of 1995 the first Sunday passenger service was inaugurated, a service that continued every summer for the next 18 years. In 2000, the Association transformed into the Tourist Railway Operations Company (SEFT) and recovered an original BM electric locomotive (purchased by the Gotthard Railway Club in 1980), built in Prague in 1909 before being sold to France. In 2003, the Rhaetian Railway also discontinued its freight service, and SEFT was granted another decade of passenger transport. On October 27, 2013, the last tourist run between Castione and Cama took place, definitively ending railway operations in Mesolcina. Since 2020, a Swiss electric locomotive with first and second class seats (1933) and a Belgian freight car (1889) used by the BM have been on public display in the Al Pascolet industrial area on the site of Fratelli Censi SA Tecnica Ferroviaria, not far from the former SEFT depot-workshop.

小さな塔からの眺めは本当に素晴らしいです。近くを通るなら絶対に見るべきです！

Shaded avenue with a beautiful fountain.

Between Giubiasco and Bellinzona, the VeloCafé is an institution for those who love cycling in the Canton of Ticino. It offers bar service, with coffee, sandwiches and beers for example, but it is also a cycle repair shop and a bicycle shop. The managers will be able to give you important advice for cycling in these areas. Check the opening hours on their website: https://www.velo-cafe.cc.

And a bike shop in one. Spare parts, cappuccino and clothes.

One of the most beautiful passes IMHO! Very long from the south, never too steep (if you stay on the main road: do not take the bike path after Mesocco!), and you will experience the vegetation transitioning from palm trees to alpine climate! The S. Bernardino village is a bonus, take the chance to eat something and get a water refill before the last push.
