소노그노 주변 최고의 교통량 없는 자전거 라이딩 코스

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

This is what awaits you, no need to bring a GPS

As others have already said: It's tough, steep, and beautiful here! It's best to split the climb into shorter stages, so the 2,000 meters of elevation gain over 30 kilometers from Bignasco aren't quite as terrifyingly daunting. From Bignasco to Prato Sornico, it's rarely very steep. There are a few flat sections where you can pick up a decent pace. After Mogno (visit the church in Botta) and up to Fusio, things really get going for the first time. Many hairpin bends soften the incredibly nasty ramps, but your legs will still be tested here! Up to the Sambucco reservoir, it becomes truly idyllic, green, and quiet. There are a few tough climbs, but even here, the difficulty is still manageable. There's a fountain at the summer restaurant: fill up your bidons again, because there are only streams and gullies here. After the relaxing flat section by the lake, the final and most strenuous part of the climb follows. The scenery is stunning, but it's steep all the way to the top! Wow!

Drinks, ice cream, cakes…

Beautiful old church that fits into the village

There are few places to stop for refreshments in Val Bavona, which is why La Froda in Foroglio is usually very busy. The view of the waterfall from the terrace is unique.

Unfortunately, the bridge was destroyed in the Fontana landslide in 2024.

The church of Gannariente is one of the many jewels in the Val Bavona. It is worth stopping here for a moment, because an old fresco above the entrance door of the church shows an unusual picture. What exactly is there to discover for yourself...
