Rivera – Alpe Foppa
The perfect itinerary to climb up to Alpe Foppa.
In about 3 hours and 10 km of pedalling, this trail guides you along stage 3 of the "66 Lugano Bike" route. The climb winds in the shade of the woods on a safe forest road closed to traffic, alternating between asphalt and dirt tracks. Halfway along the route, the intermediate station at Piano di Mora offers a well-deserved stop at the Snack Bar. And if your legs need a break, no problem: you can easily continue by cable car to the Alpe Foppa Restaurant!
