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 :-)

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.
