Quite steep climbs (15%) on Gravelbike with large stones (2x 5min. on foot at the beginning and middle) otherwise excellent path to the barracks to avoid the cantonal road. https://www.strava.com/activities/13625261288

Very suitable for the descent to the Cima di Medeglia. Quite a rolling path that is a mixture of gravel and asphalt.

Very nice climb to the Cima di Medeglia from Rivera or Isone, long stretches of asphalt road, then gravel paths and also single trails through partially moor-like plains. At the top, there is a comprehensive 360° view.

I'll just add my two cents: For me it's mainly an S2 trail, but mostly steep, some flowy passages S1, but also 2-3 S3 sections (big steps over stones in steep areas).
