Magadino serves as the base for this three-day camp. Perched high above the lake, the hotel offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Lake Maggiore—even if the view is merely a side note here. The focus is on uncompromising Ticino singletrack trails: rugged, boulder-strewn, and technically challenging.

The trails around the Magadino Plain are anything but smooth. Anyone checking in here should be comfortable with challenging terrain: fluid riding skills at the S3 level form the foundation, and enjoying boulder-strewn S4 sections ensures the right momentum and a consistent flow within the group.

We’ll kick things off on Friday with a mountain rail ride up Monte Tamaro. Depending on snow conditions at the summit, the varied trail options down to Rivera can be topped off with an additional climb to the striking broadcast antenna. On Saturday and Sunday, the group will have exclusive access to a private bike shuttle (as many trips as we want). We’ll adapt the route flexibly to conditions: one day will be dedicated to the north faces of Monte Tamaro and Monte Gambarogno, and the other to the challenging lines on the south faces between Monti di Motti and Monti Velloni. If everything goes smoothly, the itinerary includes up to four shuttle runs per day, maximizing the elevation loss covered.

The camp combines technical riding challenges with high-end comfort—after long days on demanding singletrack, the hotel complex above Magadino offers the perfect setting to recharge.
