Biking through the subtropical vegetation on Lugano's local mountain is quite challenging. Once you have reached the altitude of Monte Brè, with the same named village, your destination is Alpe Bolla. Although the steep slopes the fantastic high-altitude route passes through offer brilliant views, they have made more than one biker feel that little bit nervous. The rough descent to Cadro delights even the most seasoned biker.
