The trail is even more exciting with all the foliage because you can't really see the ground.

October 1, 2023,Locarno Monti alla Capanna Lo Stallone – Discesa attraverso il Cardada Trail - 1540m

Early October 23. Summer day, warm and quite clear. Very long climb on asphalt up to Capanna Lo Stallone and here, surprise, a MTB Trial called Cardada begins: very well-kept, very clean and technically clean only in some points where they are still completing the work. At the exit of the route the road leads back to Locarno, winding through …

September 12, 2024,Mountainbike-Tour von Contra-Cartada-Trail-Contra

The ascent to Alp Cartada is easy to ride (mostly tarmac, some dirt roads and a flowing trail at the end). The ascent is long and mostly steep (without electricity, strong calves and thighs or the cable car from Orselina are recommended 😉). After a snack at Alp Cartada, the Cartada trail makes up for the strenuous ascent. Around 600 …

July 16, 2023,Brione sopra Minusio - Carcada Runde

Carcada to Brione is a challenging single trail. It is being built in sections. The gaps between the newly laid stones are not yet overgrown. Accordingly, it shakes you through. An excavator blocked the entire width of the path. The bikes have to be carried around and over it 😵‍💫 The time specified by Komoot may be correct for very …

October 11, 2023,Cardada Bike Tour

Cool tour of two mediocre E-MTBs. Easily doable on the long climb with Eco support. The downhill route is well developed and easily accessible for MTB riders who are not particularly saddle-steady (S0 to S1). And after the climb, we recommend a refreshment stop at Capanna Lo Stallone.

October 28, 2022,Locarno-Brè-Cardada-Cimetta-LoStallone-Cardadatrail (ValResaTrail)-Brione sopra Minusio-Mad.delSasso-Locarno

The classic of the Locarno tours: Beautiful, also somewhat demanding, promising tour with a shorter and two longer singletrals, whereby the Cardada Trail is a bit treacherous today because of the many fallen leaves. In addition, round over the Cimetta, which is definitely worth it.
