A panoramic cross-lake adventure linking Lake Lugano with Lake Maggiore through forest climbs, mountain passes and quiet borderland roads.
Starting from Lugano, we ride south along the lake on a beautiful cycle path. From there, we begin climbing on quiet gravel roads, passing through traditional Ticino villages and into the scenic mountain area of Passo del Pradecolo. Here, we stay overnight immersed in alpine nature, with stunning views over Lake Maggiore and Monte Rosa.
The second day continues by riding on spectacular forest wide gravel track, then passing through the rural stone-made towns toward Lake Maggiore.
Designed for e-bike riders who want distance, elevation and discovery without sacrificing comfort.

Day 2 — Pradecolo → Lago Maggiore
In the morning, we head toward the charming hamlet of Alpone di Curiglia, entirely built from stone. From there, a long descent leads us to the valley floor before we climb again along a winding, disused mountain road — a hidden gem and perfect terrain for our e-MTBs.
Reaching the top, we continue toward Passo della Forcora, then enjoy an exhilarating descent with breathtaking views over Lake Maggiore and the surrounding peaks.
Once by the lake, we celebrate with a well-deserved aperitivo in true Italian style. From there, we follow the shoreline before returning to Lugano along a smooth riverside cycle path, passing through picturesque villages and peaceful woodland.
