Church of St. Rocco, San Rocco / Mesocco Church and Convent of St. Rocco, San Rocco / Mesocco Church and Convent of Capuchin Friars, circa 1550 to 1668 The Church of St. Rocco probably dates back to the early 16th century and is characterized by its Baroque style, which was renovated in 1935. The single-nave church features elegant plaster vaults, while the choir is decorated with a cross vault with frescoes by Francesco Antonio Giorgioli. The building became a hospice for Capuchin friars in 1668. In 1671, chapels were added on either side of the choir, and later, in 1730, two side chapels were added.

Hotel Bellevue, San Bernardino since 1858 The Hotel Bellevue was first mentioned in 1858 and was built by the landowner Gaspare Motto, a landowner from Mesocco. Motto built the mineral spring building together with Paolo Battaglia. At the beginning of the 19th century, the resort hosted numerous spa guests, mainly from nearby Ticino, Lombardy, and Piedmont. The Desteffanis family is also mentioned, but the details of their management are unclear (probably around 1870). Luigi Toschini (1832–1915) bought the hotel in 1896 and later handed over the business to his sons Samuele (1857–1943) and Giovanni (1873–1925) and their respective families. At that time, the Bellevue's capacity was limited, consisting of 18 rooms (for tourists) and 4 for staff. A special feature of the hotel's cellar was a room called "giazéira" in the local dialect, which was filled with snow and ice in the spring to keep drinks and food cool. In 1932, the hotel was sold to the Thorner-Blatter family from the Canton of Bern, who are also the current owners of Villa Flora. In 1937, the Thorner-Blatter family decided to sell the building to the Studer family, who later resold it to Mr. Oldenburg. In 1955, the Thorner-Blatter family repurchased the hotel. In 1965, the Schmidlin family bought the hotel and ran it until 1984. In the 1960s and 1970s, the Schmidlin family was known in San Bernardino for breeding several St. Bernard dogs, which lived in the garden next to the hotel, where the terrace is today. The Schmidlin family later bred up to 15 St. Bernards and became the symbol of their business during those years. In 1984, Hans and Meta Wellig, the former owners of the Hotel National Ravizza, purchased the Hotel Bellevue with the intention of continuing the family tradition.

Steimannli-Pass 😁

The lake can be bypassed with a mountain bike. Two gates can only be bypassed by stopping and pushing. :-(

Every curve along the San Bernardino Pass road has a name

Nice climb, not overly challenging, done when the road is still closed to traffic it is exceptional

very easy to navigate from the north with a moderate 5-6% gradient
