September 9, 2023,Tessin Mountainbike-Tour 2 : Locarno Bignasco Maggiatal ❤️

Today we explored the Maggia Valley. We drove through the beautiful villages. You can ride a lot on bike paths but unfortunately you also have to bike next to the main road.

However, one is currently far away from that, because the Maggia has little water and there are no tributaries from the mountains and therefore no thundering …
