Ticino Traverso, a cycle route from Chiasso,at the feet of Pre-Alps, to the San Gottardo Pass, an iconic location in the Swiss Alps at an altitude of over 2,000 metres.
An experience to be enjoyed by bike – whether gravel, city or mountain bike, classic or electric – covering approximately 330 km and 7,000 m of elevation gain, allowing you to cross an extraordinarily varied landscape where crystal-clear lakes, Mediterranean vegetation, regenerating silence, enchanted villages, gentle plains, forests, alpine rivers and majestic mountains meet.
The low technical level required and the possibility of planning the stages to suit your personal physical abilities allow everyone to create a tailor-made adventure. However, the considerable length of the route, the particularly steep gradients in some sections and the different roads surfaces require a certain level of physical fitness in order to get the most out of this unique experience.
Cycling along secondary roads, dirt tracks and smooth trails, you discover that the real journey takes place in the way the landscape transforms before your eyes: from a Mediterranean environment to an unspoilt Alpine setting.
