December 3, 2023,Cost-to-coast in una giornata meravigliosa - Ponte Tresa Luino - 520m

Early December 2023. Departure from Ponte Tresa on Lake Lugano on a freezing but beautiful autumn morning for a fantastic coast-to-coast from Ceresio to Verbano. The route, which can also be largely used in gravel, begins along the cycle path which winds through the Argentera nature reserve (named after the silver that was mined here in the past) and which …

June 17, 2023,Lago di Ghirla - Lago Maggiore - und wieder zurück

Today a nice tour from Lago di Ghirla to Lago Maggiore and back via Lago di Lugano. Great bike paths and almost no stretches along the road. Navigation device is recommended. And don't forget your ID because you drive a bit in Switzerland.

Nice ride between Valganna and Valtravaglia between the lakes of Lugano, Ghirla, Ganna and Maggiore along the Tresa river. Long stretches of asphalted cycle path in the cool of the woods so there are no problems of getting bogged down. The only slightly difficult single trek section is the one from Ponte Tresa towards Luino in Swiss territory but alternatively …

May 23, 2023,Zum Lago di Ghirla

Strenuous bike tour to the beautifully situated Lago di Ghirla. From Maccagno on the lake shore to Luino, then along the river along the valley behind until steep climbs lead up towards the mountains. After Lago di Ghirla, two more detours to a very romantic nature reserve. The paths go a lot over wooden paths through a branched water network. …

The railway path was again very beautiful. Would be a nice bike tour for Jürg, only he would have to skip the trail to Luino and take the road to Sessa. From Sessa you would also have to drive down the road.
