A little hint: I rode during summer time (July 2023) and the trees all have their leaves. Hence you see a lot of trees but the view on the sea and to the towns and shore line is marginal / hidden. Nevertheless, nice training with MTB road upwards with lot of gravel / stones.

The route from Monterecchio to Passo Forcora on the crest (signposted as route 201) has some difficult stretches and is only recommended for experts, or you can get off the bike and cover long stretches by pushing. There are descents with pointy stones fixed to the ground and large roots. In addition, a long stretch of path is narrow track like the wheel covered by vegetation. The route from Passo Forcora to Monterecchio is easy.

Exciting descent of the Monte Lena III route of the Macantone /Ticino homepage. First through meadows with a great panorama and a furrowed path, then more winding and rocky into the forest, in the forest sometimes quite steep with roots, stones and worn-out earth. Overall cool, varied, demanding descent, almost continuously S2.

Nice to climb (pushing for 50 metres) up to the crest, then a nice stretch of path on the crest, really fun, things change when you go down towards the Forcora pass, the path becomes technical and then from too much to impossible, I did it on foot 400 meters of woods, nothing dramatic though.
