Tolle, fordernde Tour. Wir haben sie mit den E-Bikes von unserer Unterkunft in Maccagno aus gemacht. Der Akku reichte bei gutem Einteilen gerade. Auf dem 1. Stück hinunter ins Dorf Graglio versperrte uns leider eine riesige umgestürzte Tanne den Weg. Die E-Bikes darüberzuwuchten war sehr anstrengend. Ab dem Forcola Pass dann durch hohes Laub, wodurch man den Untergrund nicht sehen kann. Leider waren im weiteren Wegverlauf immer mal ungestürzte Bäume oder entwurzelte Bäume, die einen Teil des Trails gleich mitgerissen haben. Dennoch schöne Tour.

Eine herrliche Tour!!!! Spektakuläre Ausblicke und ein toller Weg. Meist kleine Pfade. Nur die letzten 2 KM sind etwas ernüchternd, da diese auf einem breiten Weg zurück durch einen Buchenwald führen. Wir haben den Weg zwei mal gemacht, da wir beim ersten Mal in den Wolken waren. Bei klarem Wetter ist der Weg nochmals wesentlich schöner der Aussicht wegen. Danke für das Einstellen der Tour!!!!
