ITINERARY 3 - DIRT ROAD

Pignela (642 Switzerland Mobile)

A bike tour on the forest roads to discover the lakes around San Bernardino. It is important to dose your energy well, as the route starts downhill and ends with a challenging climb. The first stretch offers cyclists an incredible landscape, between peat bogs and not too steep slopes, which leads to one of the richest areas of lakes in the area, including the Lagh de Pian Doss south of the village, set in a basin and surrounded by alpine forest. The descent then continues between the historic houses of Forcola and the pastures lapped by dense woods. In a short time you will find yourself at the lowest point of the route, the village of Pian San Giacomo, at 1200 meters. It’s time to unleash your muscles and breath: the climb will be felt but, once at the top, the effort will be amply rewarded. On the way back to San Bernardino, in the Caurga area, you will come across an imposing spruce tree dating back about 150 years. A short detour from the marked route is certainly recommended to admire it in all its majesty. Once you arrive at Lake Isola, the climb softens, and then you easily enter the Bosch de San Remo (whose vegetation is federally protected) and finally reach the center of the village in a few minutes.
