발레나 최고의 러닝 경로

Cool in summer under the Penz hill

"Docile" slopes, very pedalable, but excellent for training, especially if done in company of the Italian climb of San Fermo. 2 km, average gradient 8%.

Beautiful climb in Switzerland, on the border with Italy. You take it from Chiasso, short and quite pedalable (average gradient 8.5%, with maximum gradients that rarely go into double figures), but very interesting for training, also because there are other similar climbs nearby, such as the one, famous for its his presence at the Giro di Lombardia, in San Fermo. The slope profile of the climb has been uploaded to the image.

In spring it is still very shady and cold, even if the sun is already shining on the other side of the river.

Wonderful flat path along the Faloppia river, a true marvel.

This climb from the Chiasso side has a length of 2.4 km and a total difference in altitude of approximately 200 metres, with an average gradient of 8.5%. It was also tackled in 2022 during the Tour de Swiss in a stage that reached Novazzano where Vlasov triumphed.

Large forest playground

True it is not paved - hence forget to expose your super expensive street bike to this piste. But if you have a MTB, Gravel, Trekking or even City Bike that is well worth it. And there is no traffic, (apart from the cargo trains that pass bye every now and then - but they don´t do any harm...)
