A route to discover Capriasca, reaching the Monte Ceneri Pass by following the Vedeggio River upstream.
Starting from Lugano, the route leads to Tesserete via a flat cycle path through lush greenery, before continuing along a dirt road into the San Clemente forest.
This section is enhanced by an art trail featuring the remains of a medieval village and a restored tower. The journey then proceeds to Origlio, a charming village with a picturesque pond and a delightful historic center. After a descent to Taverne, the route ascends towards Rivera, following the Vedeggio river, passing through Soresina and the vibrant recreational area of Rivera. The return to Lugano takes you through Bioggio, an agricultural area, and on to Vezia before finally reaching Lugano.
