WHY I LOVE LUGANO REGION?

NINO SCHURTER

Lugano Region's Ambassador and 8-time World Champion and Olympic mountain bike winner

"Certainly, a route that all mountain-bike lovers should try is the trail known as Lugano Bike 66.
My advice would be to take a couple of days to complete it, giving you time to enjoy every single kilometer".
