Rivera – Cima di Medeglia – Rivera (MTB/E-MTB)

The start and finish of the route is the train station in Rivera. From there, head south to the turnoff to Medeglia. Now it constantly goes uphill along a road. Past small villages, in the middle of the mountain. Halfway there is a farmhouse with fantastic alpine cheese. Definitely get some. At the end of the road, the route switches to a gravel path. At first easy, then the road becomes rockier and harder to ride. With the E-MTB, it is no problem. Here you already have a nice view of Bellinzona. At the top, it is best to leave the bike and walk up to the Cima del Medeglia. From the Cima del Medeglia you have a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains, Lago Maggiore, and the Po Plain. The downhill is bumpy but never very difficult. Few sections are steep and hard to ride. Hairpin turns complete the route. Rear wheel drifting is advantageous here. The long trail ends right above Rivera.
