The Valle di Blenio Bike route (387) leads from Campra or Olivone to Biasca. Along the route, you will come across numerous historical and cultural testimonies of the valley's past.
The route to Gorda can be started in Campra, from Olivone or directly from Camperio, from where it continues first on a dirt road to Piancabella and then almost entirely on asphalt until Gorda.
From the valley bottom to the alpine huts. Via old historic roads and precious larch groves from Olivone, you reach the Bovarina Hut at 1870 m. The efforts of the ascent are rewarded by an exciting, smooth descent through pastures and forests, surrounded by a breathtaking panorama.
Discover the western part of the Valle di Blenio: through the wide Nara basin with wide views of the Malvaglia valley. This is followed by a technically demanding descent through several villages, including Selvapiana. The route continues to the ruins of Serravalle Castle and the destination, Biasca.
Discover the Nara amphitheatre, best known during the winter season but whose beauty deserves to be enjoyed all year round. The technical and adventurous route, surrounded by nature and with a splendid view of the Adula massif, will delight the most experienced mountain bikers.
The name of the route is inspired by the ancient bailiffs (landfogti) who, on behalf of the sovereign cantons, administered the Blenio bailiwick from 1515 for over three centuries. The route leads through the middle Blenio valley via Lottigna, where the monumental landfogti palace from 1500 is located, now home to one of the canton's 10 regional ethnographic museums.
"Family", an ideal route for a family excursion. The route starts in Dongio on the church square; it continues northwards, at first skirting the suggestive grottos of Dongio, then pedalling along the "Satro" dirt track leading to Acquarossa. Once through the Lottigna campsite, continue along the Piano di Castro, cross the bridge over the Brenno river and descend southwards through the villages of Prugiasco and Comprovasco.
A ring in the middle and lower Blenio valley with departure and arrival in Acquarossa. The route is pleasant and very easy, ideal for families wishing to ride along the valley floor away from carriage roads. It is a fun route to discover suggestive corners of the territory along asphalted secondary roads, dirt stretches and also easy single-trails. You descend to Loderio via Dongio, Motto , Ludiano and Semione; you return along the left bank of the Brenno river crossing Malvaglia and again Motto Dongio to Acquarossa. Monuments along the way: the Romanesque churches of San Remigio in Corzoneso Piano and San Pietro in Motto-Ludiano, Serravalle Castle in Semione and the Oratory of the Nativity in Loderio.
