Blenio–Lucomagno Cycle Route 36

Highlight • Cycleway

Percorso Blenio–Lucomagno No. 36
Through the sun-drenched Valle di Blenio, steeply up to the Passo del Lucomagno, one of the most beautiful pass landscapes in Switzerland. Along the reservoir into the Val Medel, alpine roses in the valley and roaring water in the Hell's Gorge, the destination is Disentis.
The starting point is Biasca, the center of the Ambrosian valleys of Leventina, Riviera and Blenio. Vast chestnut forests spread out on the lower slopes of the Brenno valley; the chestnuts, once the "poor man's fruit", are now often left lying around. Emperor Barbarossa once stayed at the Seravalle castle in front of Ludiano; ruins still bear witness to its former power.
In the sun-drenched valley, agriculture is practiced on the terraces. High up, alone on an alpine meadow, stands one of the most impressive Romanesque buildings in Ticino, the church of San Carlo di Negrentino with its beautiful frescoes. Butterflies swing up the mountain with us, the scenery changes, in the quiet Alpine valley of Santa Maria the firs smell of resin, the tinkling of cows accompanies you to the Passo del Lucomagno.
After the Lukmanier we go along the reservoir into the Val Medel, where fragrant alpine roses, tanned wooden houses and roaring water in the Höllenschlucht accompany us to Disentis.

Olivone

Highlight • Settlement

The municipality of Olivone is located in the upper Blenio valley. The place was first mentioned in 1193, but at that time still as Alivoni. It is not known where the name comes from. The townscape is of national importance and is therefore under special protection. Why? During a walk through the picturesque village, you will quickly notice that Olivone exudes a very special charm.

Former Cima Norma Chocolate Factory

Highlight • Monument

An old chocolate factory in the middle of Ticino! An impressive industrial building that unfortunately no longer makes sweets.

The town is of Etruscan origin and dates back to the mid-7th century BC. The current name derives from the nearby iron-rich water source.
