Bridge over the Ticino river near Biasca. The bridge is along a regional road that can be busy, but there is a sidewalk for pedestrians. The view of the river and the mountains surrounding the Riviera valley is beautiful.

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great way from the San Bernardino Pass coming just before Bellinzona. From the climate, you feel like you are in Italy, but the snow-capped mountains in the background tell you that you are (still) in Switzerland. Typical Ticino.

I chose the only direction that promised fairly good weather, and I actually got wet only on the last 5 km, as I spent too much time choosing skyr flavours and reading chocolate nutrition facts 😁
