Old Walser village with museum and original Walser houses to visit.

The interesting thing about Bosco Gurin is that the Gurin German dialect is still spoken here. This makes it the only village in Ticino where German is spoken alongside Italian. Another fun fact is that the smallest Coop supermarket in Switzerland is located here. This isn't made up, but is confirmed by official signage from Coop itself. In addition to the many beautiful Walser houses, the long stable in front of the ski slope is also worth a visit.

Absolutely heartbreaking to see the damage that had torn through the village here. I found an article that covers the event leading up to this ruin: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/05/forest-gone-storm-that-moved-a-mountain-climate-crisis-environment

Perfect asphalt, very nice climb. Let's hope they open it to bikes only and no one will ever have to go through the tunnel again...

Pretty little village with the smallest COOP

the fairytale village 🏘️ of Riale🏔️

You've conquered the Nufenen Pass (Passo della Novena) by the road sign at an altitude of 2,477 meters. The pass also marks the cantonal border between Valais and Ticino. The pass is one of the youngest mountain passes in Switzerland, having only been built in 1964 and opened five years later. As the highest pass located entirely within Switzerland, it offers a special attraction for road cyclists. However, the approach from both sides is challenging, steep and often windy. Both routes involve over 1,000 meters of elevation gain. Since it's located far from any major towns, chances are your legs will already be a bit tired by the time the climbs begin.
