A visit to this place is worth planning! The route continues along a paved road above Lake Maggiore, from which you can enjoy a wonderful view: a path to cycle calmly to admire the landscape. Ronco sopra Ascona is a charming village that became an artists' village in the 20th century. Then follows the long climb through the forest before descending to Brissago, located on the lake. Charming, with a Mediterranean flair and equipped with nice restaurants, Brissago offers much to discover and learn about its history. Retracing the same stretch of road, you return to Ascona.
