Battery: 55% Eco/Tour (625 kW, rider: 95 kg)
Description:
Challenging tour for the most beautiful single trail in southern Ticino. The tour starts with a gentle ascent on a paved road to Gola di Lago. From here, after a stretch of dirt road, we’re on a fun trail to Camignolo. Once in Camignolo, it’s time to fill our water bottles, go to Rivera and get on the cable car. Once in Alpe di Foppa, we take a couple of pictures at Mario Botta’s Church and then start the most challenging part. After a steep climb we stop for lunch at Capanna Monte Tamaro. And back on our bikes! This first passage is a dangerous one. The bike will have to be pushed for about 10 minutes. The descent is first of alpine type and then through a forest. At the junction for Monte Ferraro we go towards Arosio. Now it’s time for the last highlight of the day: a trail of parabolas and small jumps for some fun. And back to Tesserete.
Cost: 80 CHF (guide, cable car, lunch and starter pack included)
