October 23, 2023,Tessin: 🚴‍♀️ Sorengo - Ponte Tresa - Luino - Ponte Trese und zurück (wir suchen alte Bahntrassen…)

So, where do I start? Would I do today's tour again? Maybe, but definitely not with a cargo bike. Today was pretty tough.
But let's start from the beginning: from Sorengo it goes via Agno to Ponte Tresa. The route is mostly easy to ride, only the last 500 m are a bit nasty because it's on the country road. …

Finally, a bike tour to Ponte Tresa.
I installed the trail to get off the road. With the exception of a few spots, it is also easily accessible with a good trekking bike.

Great tour with everything. Start at Lake Lugano across the prairie to the Italian part of Lake Maggiore. The cappuccino was cheaper straight away. The highlight was the roaring waterfall with a rainbow.

I did this tour last year. It leads along the old railway line to Lake Maggiore, passing a waterfall with a swim.
