After passing through Sala Capriasca, it descends towards Taverne, then ascends towards Rivera, following the Vedeggio River. A short climb leads to the Monte Ceneri pass, followed by a descent on the other side of the river, passing through Soresina and the Rivera recreational area. Along the way, you have the option to ascend Monte Tamaro or take a break at Splash&Spa.
