Through Losone and over the Maggia and Melezza rivers, you reach Tegna and Ponte Brolla.
From Ponte Brolla, the route continues on the bike path to Avegno: inaugurated in spring 2016, this newly constructed bike path allows cyclists to enjoy the ride safely and separated from other traffic.
The route runs mostly on bike paths up to Cavergno at the entrance of the Bavona Valley. Some sections between Losone and Tegna as well as between Gordevio and Aurigeno run over dirt roads.
