Route line is approximate. Plan with a navigation app before you ride.
Why it is a next step
No high pass, just the low Monte Ceneri (554 m) in wide bends. That road is busy, so most of the work is in traffic and lakeside towns rather than gradients. Good for early or late in the season, when the Alpine passes are still closed.
