Biking in Morobbia Valley and more
Morobbia Valley is very popular with bikers and mountain bikers. Climbs, descents and breathtaking views.
Giubiasco is an excellent starting point for many other routes to Locarno or other destinations, many of which have cycle paths in the green, away from car-trafficked roads.

Hiking
Starting from La Casa dei 5 Elementi you can explore the surroundings and all the beautiful regions of Ticino. There are activities to enjoy in every season, openair or not: if Summer is made for water sports in rivers and lakes, Winter is for skiing and sledging. Whatever your favorite sport is, Ticino is the right place to practice it.
