Information Ticino


Travelling by car:
Via the St Gotthard and San Bernardino tunnels. Alternatively, depending on snow conditions, four pass roads are also open from May to October. Info: www.tcs.ch/de/tools/verkehrsinfo-verkehrslage
Attention: Beware of speed traps! And don't forget your vignette!


Travelling by train:
Take the DB or ÖBB to Zurich or Basel, from there continue with SBB or FFS on the Gotthard line. A reservation and the international bike card are required for bike transport. Transport in special bike bags is no problem, but this also requires the international bike card.


Trail tips:
The hiking trails in Ticino are perfectly signposted. Biking is only not allowed where it is explicitly prohibited. Switzerland's "shared trail" model applies: hikers and bikers use the trails together and show consideration for each other.


Eat and sleep:
As you're on your bike all day in Ticino anyway, we looked for a hotel with breakfast and ate in one of the many pizzerias at the end of the tour. Recommended: Garni la Meridiana, Piazza G.
Motta 61, 6612 Ascona, www.meridiana.cha Swiss Bike Hotel.

Florentin Vesenbeckh

Florentin Vesenbeckh has been on a mountain bike since he was ten years old. Even on his very first tour, he focussed on single trails - and even after more than 30 years in the saddle of an MTB, these are still the quintessence of biking for him. He spent his youth competing in various bike disciplines and later his cycling career was characterised by years as a riding technique coach. Professionally, the experienced test editor now focusses on e-mountainbikes. In recent years, the qualified sports scientist and trained journalist has tested over 300 bikes and more than 40 different motor systems in the laboratory and in practice.
