Beautiful tour along the Verzasca River.
Beautiful towns with old stone houses.
The valley, the Verzasca River, the nature, and the landscape are all incredibly beautiful.
Unfortunately, there's no bike path (except Trail 399), and the cars rush past so closely, it's a bit 😳.

Beautiful mountain bike tour in Valle Verzasca. Mostly on asphalt roads on the way there, and on the way back also on some beautiful gravel roads and quite challenging trails

Unfortunately, this is steeply sloping at the beginning and has steps and, in my opinion, is not rideable. So we managed the approx. 500 m and approx. 80 tm mostly …

Very interesting trail to the village of Bre found on a beautiful old Roman road. With the e-bike super mobile with biobike probably quite exhausting😇😊. The Cardadatrail down was …
