Mountain-Bike
 The Verbano Cusio Ossola is full of colors, magic and lacustrine atmospheres and sudden contrasts between the green meadows and the white snow on the glaciers...
There are a lot of routes to find out these landscapes and you can go on foot, you can ride a mountain bike, or simply you can use the so called “palmerina”.
The tour on the lakes, the excavated earth along the river Toce, the Bosco Tenso aoasis, and the Forndotoce reserve... if you prefer more difficult paths, you can take the cableway to Mottarone and then choose the descent you prefer.
Excursions are possible on every mountain of this area, and thereare a lot of cultural itineraries, for example in Ticino Park, tgrought rich flora and fauna, and a lot of archaelogical evidence. There are many places where you can hire a bike, in Stresa (mountain bike BICICO’) and in Santa Maria Maggiore too. A centre for the bikers’athletic valutation and personal trainings’ programme is present in the gym “Associazione Sportiva 3^C” in Villadossola, and here, (with the collaboration of the cyclist Marco Della Vedova) weekend routes especially for women and childern are organized.
