산안토니오 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Border pass between Italy and Switzerland, once an important route for smuggling and partisan warfare in the area. On the Italian side, the trail is easily accessible by mountain bike, although gravel riding is also a challenge, especially along the last two kilometers from Giovo. The pass is located at an altitude of 2,000 meters, and just below is the refuge of the same name. A stunning setting, largely untouched by human activity.

Open from June to September, this very welcoming refuge is located a few meters below the pass of the same name. The last 2 km are very difficult for gravel bikes, with a very rough road. The final section becomes paved with large stones, with gradients always above 10°. Stunning view and a large selection of snacks for those arriving.

We visited the farm on our tour from Bellinzona to Valtellina. The fresh milk, homemade cheese and salami were delicious!

Alpe di Giumello, not far from the Italian-Swiss border, is located in the upper Morobbia Valley. Here there is a stable, a dairy, a cellar and some buildings used as accommodation for those who work there. An alpine pasture produces an exquisite DOP cheese, perfect for a refreshment at the end of the climb, which is very long: from Giubiasco it is in fact more than 18 kilometers at an average 7.5%, with some gravel sections and a final constantly over 11%.

The San Jorio pass is located on the Italian-Swiss border at over two thousand meters above sea level and connected the Val Marobbia (Switzerland) and the Val Dongo (Italy).

Lake Carmena is an artificial lake originating from a 40 meter high dam. It is part of the "via dell'acqua" an educational journey on water energy.
