The route is entirely uphill and offers an intense sporting experience immersed in a highly charming landscape. The start is in the heart of Ronco sopra Ascona, a delightful village overlooking Lake Maggiore, known for its cobbled streets, historic houses, and spectacular views.
The trail initially winds through the village centre, then climbs towards the Monti di Ronco, a small hamlet characterized by traditional rustic houses and well-kept meadows. From here, the ascent continues along well-marked paths immersed in nature, reaching the Corona di Pinz (1’294 m), one of the most fascinating panoramic points in the region, with views stretching from Lake Maggiore to the surrounding mountains.
