The ride
From Brissago the route heads out past the Val Grande nature reserve, then follows the Melezzo orientale river onward. Higher up comes the Bacino di Palagnedra lake, before the Melezza river leads you toward the Corona dei Pinci viewpoint. With 71.8 km and plenty of climbing along the way, the ride rolls through a mix of paved and unpaved surface before bringing you back to Brissago.
