Tour character
The tours lead on tarmac and sometimes on gravel roads. In the city centres of Locarno and Ascona the cycle paths lead through pedestrian areas. Pushing the bicycle might be necessary here. Every day you have to deal with small uphills, but these should be no obstacles even for unexercised guests. An easy tour, even for beginners.
