When you think about Switzerland,<\/strong> you think about snowy peaks, army knifes, banks, chocolate and minute hands.\u00a0But this is just the beginning for a land of wide views.
\nDirectly from the the heart of Europe,\u00a0this is how you can spend your green energies ‘riding disused railways<\/strong>‘.<\/p>\n

1. Brolla Bridge: from the iron horses to the pedestrian<\/h2>\n

In Maggia Valley<\/strong>, an old railway bridge has turned into a suggestive pedestrian and cycle\u00a0path<\/strong>. This bridge has been included in a restoration project aiming to realize a cycle path\u00a0twisting and turning from Tegna to Avegno, with the intention of supporting a new, slow and\u00a0sustainable way of moving .
\nThe classical industrial style gives the way to travelers who are lovers of sport, nature\u00a0and photography.<\/p>\n

2. For a ride on the railway tracks<\/h2>\n

Not so far from Bern, welcome aboard on a risci\u00f2 that wakes the Laupen<\/strong>‘s old rails.\u00a0In the past the locomotives used to be powered by coal; Today your life energy introduce\u00a0you to the landscape so you can become drivers for a day!<\/p>\n

The wheels’ squeak on the iron reminds you to the old time, but you can stop \u201cthe coach\u201d\u00a0anytime, to appreciate with the naked eye the beauty of the landscape all around you.<\/p>\n
