A very beautiful church at the crossroads to Ronco/Ascona. Note: This is a very challenging climb for a 2-wheel road bike, especially before Intragna. The road bike route via Losone Tegna is easier :-)

In addition to the beauty of the place, in this alp there are many centuries-old chestnut trees, particularly beautiful.

old panoramic military road. This runs at a height of about 1250 meters and thus about 1000m above Lake Maggiore. Therefore, when the weather is nice, there are fantastic views of the lake.
