Distance: 78 km • Time: 7 ore • Medium difficulty

A loop route full of contrasts, leading visitors to discover some of the most enchanting corners of the area: from the morainic hills to the course of the Ticino River, passing through ancient villages and rural landscapes.


The journey begins in Bernate, taking you into nature among gentle hills shaped by ancient glaciers and environments rich in biodiversity.
The route then descends towards the Ticino River, crossing the Strona stream and the Vigano Woods, a beautiful pine forest where a large glacial erratic boulder lies hidden—an authentic witness to the area’s geological history.
