August 19, 2022,Tesserete-Passo San Lucio (Kirche) - Mt. Bar (Lugano)

Nice MTB round of Tesserete via Passo San Lucio to Mt Bar. One of the standard rounds on Mt Bar (S2 level). Jupp Toggenburg bequeathed the track to us. At the beginning it had a sliding section with about 50hm uphill.

Arrival at night Tesserete about 2h45 Parked at the bus station. Inexpensive food in the Capanna San Lucio on the Italian side. Ascent to Monte Bar approx. 2 - 2.5 hours. Chestnuts 🌰 cake is great there. In Ticino, of course, a gazzosa is one of them.
