Monte Tamaro – Chestnuts trail

Mountain Bike

While riding this circular route, you’ll be struck by the extensive chestnut forests and the epic appeal of majestic Monte Tamaro with its breath-taking panorama. You’ll also be full of admiration for nature’s handiwork which in the Maglio del Malcantone area is particularly enthralling.


Monte Tamaro is one of the region’s most popular spots, providing thrilling Alpine experiences just a stone’s throw from the city. Amongst the many good reasons for visiting, we should mention the great routes for MTB enthusiasts, starting directly from the cable car arrival point at Alpe Foppa (1532 m).

Take advantage of this panoramic ropeway to considerably reduce the climb!

The proposals cover circular routes starting and finishing at the Rivera cable car departure station.

The construction work of the new Monte Tamaro cable car is proceeding, and the reopening is planned for summer 2025.
