Giova
Beautiful mountain bike route starting from Roveredo that allows you to reach the heights of Giova through a scenic forest. The descent initially towards Buseno and then from Castaneda towards Grono is demanding, but the charming landscape makes the effort worthwhile.

Description

The route starts in the square in the center of Roveredo. From there it heads towards Bellinzona on the east bank of the Moesa river. At the height of S.Vittore, cross the bridge to head towards the village of S.Vittore, crossing the plain until you reach the cantonal road where you need to turn left towards Bellinzona. Immediately, before reaching the grotti of S.Vittore, turn right towards Giova. Here the road climbs and enters the marvelous forest to reach Giova and then the mountains of S.Carlo. From the mountains of S.Carlo, the descent towards Lake Buseno begins. At Molina di Fora, take the dirt road that gently climbs towards Castaneda. From sunny Castaneda, continue to Campagna and then take the dirt road that descends towards Nadro and later Grono.


At Grono, continue to the Moesa river. Cross the bridge and continue on the east bank of the Moesa river towards Bellinzona. Along the river, finally reach Roveredo, the starting point of the route.
