May 24, 2025,Val Resa e CardadaTrail 397 SwissMobile (anello da Ascona)

Varied and fun single trail, quite natural with mixed and well-maintained surfaces. There is so much more to do up there, but it would require a cable car ride to preserve the battery. We'll do it!

Wonderful relaxed round early in the morning😁. Once again I drove a classic for many years, but on the road completely alone and that was fun. Some dangerous places with little snow and ice under the leaves...the ground was frozen and it's always nice to stay there..😁😄😃

August 30, 2021,MTB cimetta Runde

Today we went to Locarno's local mountain to the alpe cardada cimetta. I followed the MTB route 397. Up until shortly before the end it was on asphalt over monte bré. The descent over the Val Resa Trail has changed significantly since my last time. It has apparently become much more demanding due to the many rains and landslides. There …

Nice trail 😜 the descent at the top is quite edgy and rocky, with a fully o.k. Lower section super and cool. Spoke to the maintenance squad on the track. So the troops are in full swing and also want to optimize the upper section 👍🤪 It's fun to destroy 1000 meters 😀

January 27, 2024,👌Ticino mit Beat bei 18° und Sonne pur: Locarno - Cimetta - CardadaTrail - AsconaTrails

It was once again exactly the right decision to go to Ticino today for a day and a tour... at the start of the tour maybe 12°, later in the afternoon certainly 16-18°, plus pure sunshine all day, that's why it still felt like it warmer...
