카스텔베카나 최고의 사이클링 경로

Before running water arrived in homes, villages had public washhouses where women, often young maids, washed their laundry. They were places of work but also places of socialization: here, people met every day, exchanged news, and spread the typical village gossip. The first washerwomen were forced to wash in rivers, on their knees, and in the open, in all weathers.

A beautiful tour through the Val Cannobina to the Passo Pantani. There are several "rest sections" ranging from flat to downhill. It gets a bit steeper towards the end of the pass. A must-do is the continuation via Malesco through the Cento Valli with its many sights, Re and the Ponte Romano, and breathtaking views of the valley and the railway line. Via Ponte Brollo and Ascona, the route then leads back to the lakeside road to Cannobio. I've ridden this route many times in spring and fall, and there was always little traffic. I can't recommend the traffic-free route from Malesco to Domodossola.

busy road with lots of cars

You drive along the road but in the town you are rewarded

Cycle path bridge over the Maggia.

Slow-paced red tarmac road used by all road users.

Great viewpoint in different directions. The path to the panoramic view is a dead end and does not lead any further.

A very very beautiful town, its lake makes it even more beautiful.
