    Der Weg ist ganz nett, aber nicht "premium". Der Weg ist gut ausgeschildert, man braucht diesen gpx-Track nicht. Es gibt schöne Ausblicke auf den Luganersee. Man sollte in Morcote sich ein wenig Zeit nehmen für die Renaissance-Kirche, den Friedhof, den Park Scherrer und ein paar Palazzi.

    Heute wieder gefahren. Alles in gutem Zustand. Es sieht sogar so aus, dass der Wanderweg runter nach Morcote in der Zwischenzeit mit Fokus auf 'Mountainbike' gepflegt und ausgebessert wurde. Macht Spass!

    Gute idee als Inpiration ! Habe diese RR die Tour leicht angepasst : ab Ardena nach Marchirolo (statt Marzio, länger) dann den ruhigen sonnigen Höhenweg Bosco-Montegrino nach Luino. Schlussendlich den unvermeidlichen Aufstieg nach Lugano-Paradiso ab Morcotte via Carona. https://www.strava.com/activities/8072371955

    das tessin von seiner schönsten seite! tolle runde um den südteil des lago di lugano. sehr zu empfehlen, trotz des teils starken verkehrs. viele gleichgesinnte rennradfahrer sind zusätzliche motivation und wer etwas schneller fahren möchte, der kann dies auf der ziemlich flachen strecke gut umsetzen. unbedingt ausprobieren!

    Finde das eine der schönsten Touren dieser Gegend. Aufstieg auf stillen Teerstrassen mit wunderbarer Aussicht. Lange Abfahrt auf flowigem Singletrail bis runter zum See bei Arbostora.

    Der Anfang etwas steil und steinig. Anschliessend mehrere Möglichkeiten mach Morcote zu gelangen. Bei der Bariante rechts zieht sich das letzte Stück auf Asphalt. Viele Strecken im Wald angenehm bei heißen Temperaturen. Leider gibt es keine Picknick-Tische unterwegs. Wir haben es am Boden gemacht. Auch schön.
