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 :-)

The detour is worthwhile because from the suspension bridge you get another good view of the destination of the hike.

Great views on this climb. They are currently (November 2024) extending the road (to Survi / Salticc?).

This is an excursion that can be done even during the winter months because it is exposed to the sun during the central hours of the day.

The part of the trail that goes towards Villa has some steep and technical passages where the MTB has to be pushed :-(
