Mendrisio | Ride MTB

Monte San Giorgio towers between Lake Lugano and Mendrisiotto and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It can also be tackled by mountain bike by climbing up from the south side and riding downhill on single trails through the steep eastern flank.

The Bellavista tour is the short and much easier version of the Monte Generoso tour. It "only" rides to the Bellavista middle station, with the Valle di Muggio forming the basis for the flowing descent.

The tour up Monte Generoso on the southern tip of Ticino is one of the best tours in Switzerland. The trails are first-class, the panorama stunning and the long ascent can be replaced by the mountain railroad.
