San Bernardino

City-Bike, MTB
Mesolcina

From the San Bernardino resort of San Bernardino, follow the Moesa River and proceed on a rapid descent southwards.

 

Surrounded by rock faces, you speed along a high-quality asphalted road and on reaching Mesocco, the ruins of the castle of the same name dominate from the top of a rocky spur and are definitely worth a visit!

 

The view over the valley is wonderful and since the start of the trip the climate zones have changed considerably: down here the climate is milder, almost Mediterranean.

 

A restorative break to spoil your palate with typical dishes in one of the cool grotti in the lower Mesolcina is a must before reaching the medieval town of Bellinzona with its magnificent UNESCO World Heritage castles and its Lombard charm.
