View of the river near Bellinzona

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great way from the San Bernardino Pass coming just before Bellinzona. From the climate, you feel like you are in Italy, but the snow-capped mountains in the background tell you that you are (still) in Switzerland. Typical Ticino.

April 17, 2023,+TI-2 V Biasca - Bellinzona - Retour 🌞🚵‍♂️🌞

🌞🚵‍♂️🌞🍀
Escape to the sunny Ticino.

A cozy little door at the start of the season. Yes, what does cozy actually mean? That was the plan. On the way home at the latest, we regretted that we didn't train enough in the winter. What the heck, I can feel my buttocks and all my muscles, everything is still there. 🤣

nice easy trails along the ticino river, lunch @ biasca (via ai grotti, strongly recommended ), changed a tire on the way back to belli, came too late to return the rented bike and ended the day en fanfare @al porto across the railway station ... all in all, not a wasted day 👍
