DEAD ENDS & Dolci
Overview
Intro
DEAD ENDS & Dolci is a bikepacking adventure to discover the most authentic and surprising side of Ticino.
From October 2 to 4, 2026, starting in Bellinzona, participants will tackle approximately 500 kilometers and 9,000 meters of elevation gain, pedaling self-supported along secondary roads, off-road sections, remote valleys, ancient villages, and spectacular climbs immersed in the Ticino landscape.
The event's unique feature is its "free route" formula: there is no predetermined itinerary. Cyclists must reach all mandatory checkpoints, independently choosing the order and best route to connect them.
A challenge that leaves room for strategy, exploration, and a spirit of adventure. And at the end of the dead-end roads comes the sweetest part: local specialties await participants, a delicious reward to recharge and discover the region through its flavors.
An experience combining gravel, mountain biking, nature, and gastronomy, designed to experience Ticino on two wheels from a decidedly out-of-the-ordinary perspective.
