Description

Uphill section on lightly trafficked gravel and asphalt roads.


This route is almost completely shaded - ideal also for hot summer days.


From Brentan, the route ascends towards Soglio through the majestic chestnut forest, passes under a waterfall to the small village of Plazza, and then descends on the cantonal road to Promontogno. Further uphill on a gravel road to Caccior and then on asphalt to Coltura. As a variation, it is recommended after crossing the village of Coltura to descend to Stampa, cross the main road, pass in front of the Ciäsa Granda museum, and continue on the gravel road at the Hotel Val d'Arca, which leads uphill to the left. After passing through the beautiful pine forest, you reach the Via Bregaglia leading to Vicosoprano, from where you continue on the road to Roticcio. The last part of this route takes place on the Via Panoramica, leading to Casaccia.
