September 28, 2024,🇨🇭 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️-Tour nach Lodano / Maggia

We took advantage of the warm, sunny day for another bike ride into the Maggia Valley.
It's nice that the route leads almost exclusively along signposted bike paths.
After that we were able to use the pool 🏊‍♀️ again.
Now it's time for typical Swiss camping food: Raclette🧀 outdoors.

In bright sunshine we went back to the Maggia Valley and there was still enough time for the pool.

Something so great and hardly anyone around at Easter - incomprehensible, but it was actually like that!

Together with friends by bike 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️ from the campsite to Locarno and then up the Maggia Valley to the Ponte Brolla.
There is a beautiful lake with a sandy beach and a waterfall.
Then on to Maggia and there on foot to the Cascada del Salto, a particularly beautiful waterfall.
On the way back we had to mend a tire. …

Take the 315 bus from Locarno Statione to Maggia. Go down there on the bike path. In between, swim in the ice-cold water at a suspension bridge. Wonderfully refreshing, the path is always separate from the street.
