Highlight • Religious Site

A good shady place for a break. Also fresh water at a source is available. You should definitely avoid the descent to Socraggio (300 vertical meters steep descent, bike is to be carried)!

Lovely little concrete road. Steep, but not extremely steep.

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The road is paved but the bottom at times has cracks and small cracks. Very easy to ride with any bike, even gravel

September 18, 2022,🇮🇹Ab Cheglio hoch überm Lago Maggiore zum Cima de Morissolo und rund um den Monte Spalavera

From Cheglio (550hm ascent from Cannero, saved) on donkey paths up to the Cima di Morissolo
Highlight of the high-level panorama trail "strada cadorna" afterwards, with always new perspectives on Lake Maggiore.
The coarse gravel trails north of Monte Spalavera were tw. quite demanding.

Great tour with lots of trails, mostly S1. The M. Spalavera offers a gigantic panorama. Hiking trail from Piancassone towards Viggiona: just push and lift the stairs! From Monte Carza you could ski down to Viggiona on wonderful trails with better timing.

March 29, 2025,Monte Spalavera - Monte Pian Bello - Monte Carza: Tour über dem Lago Maggiore von Cannobio 🇮🇹 ⭐️

Great tour high above Lake Maggiore!

At Monte Spalavera, we couldn't head straight onto the trail as planned because we would have sunk a good half meter into the snow... But the alternative just below the summit was great. A wild boar trail at its finest...!! The following ones from Monte Pian Bello and Monte Carza‼️👌🏻

March 29, 2025,Monte Spalavera- Monte Pian Bello- Monte Carza

A fantastic day in Italy in the mountains of Cannobio on Lake Maggiore with pleasant temperatures and awesome trails! At Monte Spalavera, we chose a different trail than planned for the downhill due to too much snow. The 5cm of snow Daniela predicted turned out to be more like 100cm. 🤭 Okay, you don't have to be that precise. 😂 …
