Gottardo Bike
Stage 2, Airolo–Olivone
Impressive pass from Valle Leventina into Val Blenio. The lovely Piora plain with its mountain lakes nestles in a rugged landscape. The descent from the Passo del Sole to Olivone is marked by challenging trails, larch woods, lush green plains and dense pine forests.
