The route is surprisingly well separated from other traffic and where you have to cross main roads, the cycle paths are well marked and the drivers in Ticino are extremely considerate. I always had the right of way, as did the pedestrians. The tour is best done on a racing bike.

July 2, 2022,Ausflug nach Bellinzona

From Ascona, the cycle path leads along the old road along the lake in Locarno. There are countless opportunities to jump into the lake. Along the old villas on the lake, you continue to the Magadino plain, past the airfield on a pleasant bike path to Bellinzona
