A very beautiful church at the crossroads to Ronco/Ascona. Note: This is a very challenging climb for a 2-wheel road bike, especially before Intragna. The road bike route via Losone Tegna is easier :-)

A beautiful tour through the Val Cannobina to the Passo Pantani. There are several "rest sections" ranging from flat to downhill. It gets a bit steeper towards the end of the pass. A must-do is the continuation via Malesco through the Cento Valli with its many sights, Re and the Ponte Romano, and breathtaking views of the valley and the railway line. Via Ponte Brollo and Ascona, the route then leads back to the lakeside road to Cannobio. I've ridden this route many times in spring and fall, and there was always little traffic. I can't recommend the traffic-free route from Malesco to Domodossola.
