Fiore di Pietra and Monte Generoso Summit Station

Highlight • Rest Area

The satisfaction of reaching the top is really great.
Last piece of road with steps formed by vertical axes and stones slows down the march a little, but we must not give up.

July 17, 2023,Weil es so schön war.... Monte Generoso zum 2.

The Monte Generoso is now one of my favorites, it offers many varied trails and is easily accessible from Melano.

Today also took the ascent under the wheels. Until Bellavista on the road and the "rest" until Generosa Vetta on one of the official trails.

Always a wonderful tour. To Bellavista the route is steep at times, but uphill on asphalt. In the last 4 kilometers to Generoso Vetta there is a loose footpath that is strenuous due to the steep gradient. However, the unique view and landscape make up for it.

The trip to Ticino was once again really worth it! In the 2024 MTB season, Monte Generoso had to be ridden again - tradition is tradition! With the best weather (26 degrees, deluxe sunshine) it was just wonderful. Monte Generoso, you know how to make bikers happy! 😉

Magnificent tour from the Monto Generoso.

Spent a leisurely morning on the mountain with Nicole and Beatrice. You are then back down by train.

For me it's time to saddle up the bike and go.

Endlessly flowing trails lead down to Mendriso along the east flank of Monte Generoso. Through the dense chestnut forests of the Malcantone. Along the "sentee …

For me one of the most beautiful tours I've driven in Ticino.
Next time I would take the section from Mendrisio to Cabbio (km 16) at least when driving back via the S1 train to Sagno.
But the trail from Fosso is all the more flowy. Steady uphill but always easy to drive.
At Dossa dell'Ora, the wonderful view makes …
