Quad riding in Ticino: an extraordinary adventure in southern Switzerland

Over around 6 to 7 hours you explore one of the most impressive mountain regions in southern Switzerland on four wheels. The varied route follows beautiful back roads, passes unspoilt mountain landscapes, runs through tunnels steeped in history and leads to fantastic viewpoints.
Far from everyday bustle, a mix of driving fun, nature, adventure and good company awaits. Whether as a spontaneous holiday experience, a day out with friends, a club outing or an organised company event: this quad tour offers many unforgettable moments.
Start in Lostallo: on four wheels towards adventure
The guided quad tour starts at the base camp in Lostallo in the Mesolcina valley (Misox), south of the well-known San Bernardino Pass in the canton of Graubünden. After an introduction to the vehicles and the main safety rules, the ride sets off on beautiful back roads towards Arbedo near Bellinzona.
The variety of this region shows from the very first kilometres. Idyllic villages, green valleys, impressive rock formations and wonderful mountain scenery accompany us along the way.
The most impressive section begins in Arbedo: we leave the valley roads and head up into the mountains. Every bend opens up new views. The landscape becomes wilder, the mountains more imposing, and everyday life slips further and further away.
Capanna Gesero: Ticino hospitality in the middle of the mountains
One of the highlights of the quad tour is Capanna Gesero, a beautifully located mountain hut in the Ticino mountains. After the varied climb we take a relaxed break here and enjoy the special atmosphere of the surroundings.
A refreshing drink, an aperitif together or a good meal: Capanna Gesero is the ideal place to recharge, enjoy the view and let the impressions sink in. For group and company outings in particular, this stop is a good opportunity to talk.
Important: food, drinks and aperitif are not included in the tour price.
Historic mountain tunnels: on the trail of the past
After our stop at Capanna Gesero we continue through the mountain landscape. A special experience are the small historic tunnels along the route, which recall the military past of the region during the Second World War.
These sections give the quad tour a character all of its own. Swiss history, impressive nature and modern driving fun come together here. Again and again, spectacular panoramic views open up towards San Bernardino and the surrounding mountain ranges.
Hidden reservoir: nature and fantastic photo spots
Another highlight is a small, idyllically located reservoir set in a beautiful mountain landscape. We take another short break here, enjoy the quiet and take time for souvenir photos.
The return leg then leads via Laura and Roveredo back to the starting point in Lostallo. After around 6 to 7 hours of driving fun, nature and mountain panoramas, an extraordinary outing through one of the most beautiful regions of southern Switzerland comes to an end.
