4-Day E-Bike Tour of Magic and Adventure in Ticino

Bellinzonese / Locarnese

Our four-day guided tour takes us from Bellinzona to the top of the Maggia Valley through breathtaking scenery and hidden treasures.

 

The adventure begins with a day of discovery on the Piano di Magadino. We set off from Bellinzona towards the majestic Church of San Bernardo, and then continue our ride towards Locarno. The second day is dedicated to discovering Locarno and its surroundings; here we will take a dip in the "Dolce Vita". The third day is dedicated entirely to the Maggia Valley, a unique opportunity to experience the magic of the region between waterfalls and wines. To end on a high note, on the last day we immerse ourselves in the medieval atmosphere of the Bellinzona Fortress, a UNESCO heritage site since 2000.
