루가노 최고의 사이클링 경로

산타 마리아 데글리 안젤리(Santa Maria degli Angeli)는 리베라(Rivera) 위쪽의 알페 포파(Alpe Foppa)에 있는 인상적인 예배당입니다. 유명한 건축가 마리오 보타(Mario Botta)가 디자인한 이 예배당은 현대 건축과 영적인 평온함을 결합합니다. 눈에 띄는 보행자 다리가 건축물까지 극적으로 이어지며 티치노(Tessin)의 산악 세계를 조망할 수 있게 합니다. 내부에는 예술가 엔초 쿠키(Enzo Cucchi)의 강렬한 색채 작품들이 감동을 선사합니다. 이 예배당은 등산객과 문화 애호가들에게 인기 있는 목적지입니다. 자연, 예술, 성찰을 독특한 방식으로 결합하며 티치노의 건축적 하이라이트 중 하나입니다.

This church has been entrusted to the local community not by one of the (almost countless) saints, but by "Santa Croce" (the Holy Cross). Perhaps a brief stop here is the perfect opportunity for hikers and walkers to offer a short meditation and a prayer to God. I would therefore like to invite you to prayerfully contemplate God's infinite love for us, revealed in Christ nailed to the wood of the cross. Perhaps a saying by the Spanish founder of the religious order, Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), might be helpful: "It is precisely where human hopes fall lowest that trust in God rises highest. For where all human help gives way, there divine help takes its place."

Beautiful cycle path directly along the lake.

This church in Arosio was dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The name (from the Hebrew language) means "Who is like God?" He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, occasionally with a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael and Gabriel, and occasionally Uriel is also included - one of the three or four archangels who (according to human belief) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is September 29th.

you can get there without a MTB

Beautiful view

The hut is located on the path between Alpe Foppa and the summit of Monte Tamaro. Excellent view of the surrounding mountains

A detour here is definitely worth it. The very last part is up a flight of stairs on foot. A little further down is the beautiful cemetery.
