Stage 7: San Bernardino – Bellinzona An exhilarating descent through the Mesolcina Valley. Eagerly absorbing the mild southern climate. In Mesocco, cyclists enjoy the largest ruin in Switzerland and, at the end of the tour, in Bellinzona, the defiant towers and walls of the tre castelli. Refreshed, they follow the rushing Moësa River out of the lively resort town of San Bernardino. The 46-kilometer-long tributary of the Ticino rises at the San Bernardino Pass and gives its name to the Mesolcina Valley (Misox). Although Italian is spoken in the valley, as in the Poschiavo and Bregaglia valleys, it has always maintained close ties to Graubünden. In the smaller villages, where many of the houses are covered with stone slabs, time seems to have stood still. You hardly stop on your bike during the rapid descent towards the south. Surrounded by rocky cliffs, you roar along a well-maintained road with countless skid marks. The highway, which practically hangs from the mountain, seems a bit surreal. Later, a varied side road leads down to Mesocco. Magnificent views of the valley are revealed. Below the village, perched on a rocky outcrop, are the ruins of the Castello di Mesocco, the 11th-century ancestral castle of the Count of Misox. It is considered one of the most important in Graubünden and the largest in Switzerland. Roveredo is the main town in the lower Misox Valley. And what could be nicer here than a break in a cool grotto, enjoying a typical lunch menu and a glass of local wine? The village also boasts several beautiful 17th-century houses, such as the one designed by local architect and builder Enrico Zuccalli. A secluded stretch follows near Lumino, just after crossing the highway and the river. A forest path leads along the Moësa River over hill and dale. Passing an inviting forest garden grotto and some secluded swimming spots, you reach Arbedo-Castione. Here, the Moësa flows into the Ticino River.

Swiss Lachs AG, Lostallo Switzerland's First Salmon Farm - Recirculating System Technology Our recirculating system in the fish pond is the most technically advanced and complex form of aquaculture. Our water is filtered seven times, and the nutrient-rich filter residues are then converted into biogas. The salmon grows in fresh mountain water without chemicals or antibiotics. The result is fresh, healthy salmon that harms neither the environment nor ecosystems. The salmon is not only fresher, healthier, and more sustainable, it also tastes better. Thanks to the closed-loop system, no fish escape, and no chemicals or antibiotics that harm marine flora and fauna are required. Closed-loop system technology is the most complex form of aquaculture, but it is particularly resource-efficient; it reduces the need for freshwater to 2%.

The lake can be bypassed with a mountain bike. Two gates can only be bypassed by stopping and pushing. :-(

There is also a miniature bike park, which is too small for my taste.
