The tour starts at the village of Maggia and runs at first along the hiking trail and then along the old road up to Someo. You will cross the Maggia River on a 380-meter long suspension bridge. On the other side of the river, biking becomes very technical. Ride the single trail down to Lodano. A less traveled road takes you back to Maggia.
