San Lucio
Description
The starting point of the tour is the lakeside promenade of Porlezza on Lake Lugano. Now you climb up a small road through the Val Rezzo to Buggiolo. Just above this mountain village, turn left onto the gravel alpine road up to San Lucio, which is sometimes very steep. This adds up to almost 400 meters in altitude until you reach the chapel and the small inn. Here you will meet many mountain bikers riding the Monte Bar tour on the Swiss side. Our route now leads down into Val Cavargna. After the village of the same name, you have to ride a short stretch on the road due to a lack of singletrail alternatives. The trail fun then begins again below Sora, where the path leads deep down to the valley floor at Punte Dovia. A historic little road (Via del ferro) takes you to Carlazzo and you tackle the final section via Gnallo to San Pietro Sovera. The riverside promenade of Porlezza is now not far away.

The track only deserves the driving points at the beginning. From the chapel, a path trampled by cows, then a bumpy jeep track. Then a lot of road and an old paved path. The landscape here is interesting with a waterworks, historic lime kiln and gorge. Then back on asphalt paths. Description and track do not match at the end.
