Lugano Bike No. 66 – Stage 3 – Rivera – Miglieglia

Mountain Bike

Ascent on the renowned M. Tamaro by cable car avoiding the half-gravel road. Gravel road towards the summit and, through the woods, on singletrail followed by gravel road. Arosio – Miglieglia on singletrail in the typical hilly area of Malcantone. Don't miss the ascent to M. Lema!


From Rivera a forest road leads to Alpe Foppa (with the small lake and the church Santa Maria degli Angeli, the work designed by the famous Swiss architect Mario Botta). Along a gravel road from which you can admire the view over the entire region, proceed towards the Tamaro hut. From here along singletrails immersed in the typical hilly forests of the area, cross the entire Upper Malcantone to Miglieglia, where a cable car ascent to Monte Lema is recommended.
