Bergeggi – Monte Mao
Description
You start right by the sea and ride the seven-kilometre climb up Monte Mao, initially on tar until the surface changes to gravel after a few hairpin bends. Immediately before the summit, it becomes steep and rocky. After the uphill balance trail act, you stand at the summit and look out over the bay of Spotorno - a gigantic view.
The Mao Crest Trail descends steeply and with boulders to the south. After a small counter-climb, keep left and ride the beautiful, flowing trail to the next junction. Turn left here onto the Sentiero Vecchia Cava. The gravel road is not too steep and you soon come to a junction. Here you turn right onto the forest road and then take the Sentiero Botanico straight ahead. This leads onto the tarred road of the ascent and you roll back to the sea to the starting point.

Background to Ride MTB
Ride MTB is dedicated to mountain biking. With the maps Ride Trail Maps and Trail Books and the print magazine Ride, it has played a formative role in alpine mountain biking for many years and has shaped it like few other organizations.
In addition to the publishing business, the company is now also active in product management and operating entire mountain bike projects. These include the tourism project Ride Travel and the development of modern and authentic mountain bike offers such as the Bahnentour in Davos Klosters, Engadin St. Moritz, Lenzerheide or Aletsch, as well as the creation of multi-day tours such as the Postauto-Tour or the Hüttentour.
Ride MTB GmbH was founded in 2001 (formerly Swiss Sports Publishing GmbH) and has been owned and managed by Thomas Giger since then.
