Historic Roman Road over Monte Ceneri

Highlight • Historical Site

Really steep and bumpy but certainly impressive as they used to build roads

Ancient Roman Road Monte Ceneri

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

Impressive old Roman road from Quartino to Monte Ceneri. It is astonishing that the ancient Romans climbed this bumpy road with an average gradient of 14 percent with their cars. If you have made it yourself, all the more beautiful ... In addition, you are warmed up for the further ascent to Monte Tamaro.

Very nice trail, initially on a meadow path, further down a more challenging trail with some S2 sections, and at the end an S3 section.

Technical Forest Trail Ticino

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

It is not difficult and neither is an S3 as reported in komoot. I would say an S2 with flow traits in S1. I don't understand who gives this false info

A very nice bike tour in very pleasant weather. And almost nobody around (a few hikers, a single biker who overtook me in racing style at the most difficult DH section). Beautiful nature, many magnificent views, and in the area of the Cima di Medeglia and especially on the southeast side of the Isone valley, beautiful but challenging trails ("Isone …

Single trail sections require very good riding technique. Then it's fun, otherwise you have to push.

February 26, 2022,Alter Saumpfad – Sensationelle Aussicht Runde von San Antonino

Wonderful, varied trail from Cadenazzo. In order to avoid the inhospitable 🥶 temperatures, the detour to the south 🧭 was worth it. Also at ⛰1000 m.a.s.l. it is already very pleasant. Sun places ☀️ invite you to linger in places protected from the wind.
The stops 🛑 and breaks 🅿️ were probably longer than the actual driving time.
But the …

Great biking weather, and I didn't see a single biker on this route, but I did see a few hikers. The Isone Trail has been pretty well repaired after last year's storm, so it's fun again. It was a quick ride, Andi🥵

Intensive 40 km round from Bironico in the best bike conditions, pure sun and temperatures between 15° and 20°, felt even warmer

First up to the Cima di Medeglia with a fantastic 360-degree view of Bellinzona, Lake Maggiore, Lake Lugano, Monte Lema and Monte Bar...
Military road up to the Cima, down again via mTrails in the upper part, then …

We often forget how beautiful this area is, among the most beautiful in Ticino. Special mention for the stretch on the ridge from the top of Medeglia to Motto Rotondo and the S1 stretch immersed in an enchanted birch forest starting from the "in Sello" alp ❤️
