Description

The circular route starts in the village of S. Bernardino. The first section leads through an impressive marsh and hilly landscape with the idyllic small lake Lagh de Pian Doss, the historic houses of Forcola, pastures, and dense forests. Almost without noticing it, you reach the lowest point of the route, the village Pian S. Giacomo at 1200 m a.s.l. A prolonged ascent leads back to S. Bernardino. Along this natural road you find a Roman-era bridge, the Ponte Romano, which is worth a short detour from the bike route. Once you have reached the Isola reservoir, the road rises much more gently. Between the lake and the village of San Bernardino lies the federally protected forest Bosch de San Remo. The finish at the starting point in the village is only a few minutes away.

Safety Note

Good physical condition, helmet and adequate equipment.
