Col d&#8217;Anzana marks the line between Italy and Switzerland and offers a beautiful view on middle Valtellina and the Orobic Alps. The descent splits up into two: the first part up to Lughina is linear and pleasant except a brief stretch with technical switchbacks, while the second part going down to Tirano tests your technical riding ability being a muletrack con stantly sloping down.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As part of this tour is in Switzerland, you can use the Bernina Express (from Tirano to S. Moritz) to travel through Val Poschiavo. The Col D&#8217;anzana marks the border between Italy and Switzerland and is the starting point of two routes: the first one on the right, that passing through Prato Valentino goes to Teglio; the second one &#8211; the one described below  on the left, straight to the valley bottom. The descent can be split in two distinct parts : a regular and flowing one to Lughina (except a brief section with technical switchbacks: bike carrying recommended) and a second one on a mule track offering a constant and gentle slope to Tirano.   THE CLIMB From Tirano &#8211; Bus and Train Square &#8211; (by car or by bike) From Tirano&#8217;s bus station, go straight to the border of Piattamala and go on to Campascio, then turn left towards Cavaione on asphalt road. Go on to Pescia Bassa where it&#8217;s mandatory to leave the car if you are not provided with a permission for Pescia Alta, you can pay a daily toll at Brusio town hall (tel.41(0)818465353 &#8211; www.brusio.ch). From Pescia Bassa to Col d&#8217;Anzana From Pescia Bassa ride 2,2 Km on the dirt road to Pescia Alta, then follow a well-marked path to Col d&#8217;Anzana. Along the road  at 2.050 m height, just a little before of Pescia Alta  you find the Anzana Hut.   THE DESCENT From Col d&#8217;Anzana to Tirano  12,3 km  1.805 m From Col d&#8217;Anzana go down a few meters (sign  Step 1 &#8211; 2.174 m height) where, on the left, a long panoramic trail begins, then follow a beautiful mule track to Frantelone (sign Step 2  1.740 m height), where you find a sign showing the easiest alternative: a dirt road to Lughina. Be careful if you decide to go on: the track has a lot of technical hairpins. From Lughina (Sign  Step 3  1.430 m height) starts the very long mule track to Villa di Tirano&#8217;s vineyards. The nearby Sanctuary of the Madonna is the gateway to the city of Tirano.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part of the route takes place in the Canton Grisons on the Swiss ter ritory by climbing up through Val Saiento.
