Starting from the lakeside in Ascona, you pass through the town and, along the golf course, continue along the Maggia river. The route follows the river to Losone, where for a stretch it moves away from the watercourse. In summer it is a very popular location among swimmers and children can have fun in the playground or sports fields. Up to Golino, the route continues on a dirt road and the landscape constantly changes, passing from the river to the forest and skirting a riding stable, a golf course and a campsite. Upon reaching Golino, the climb begins towards Arcegno, a charming village above Ascona immersed in nature. Crossing a beautiful landscape, the route continues towards Gruppaldo and, above the lake, back to Ascona.
