BIKE RENTAL
In the Vigezzo Valley there is an innovative automatic bicycle rental system: Vigezzoinbici. Those who arrive in the valley by train or by car can use a bicycle to get about easily and freely. At 4 points in the valley, in the vicinity of the railway stations of Druogno, Santa Maria Maggiore, Malesco and Re, there are places where you can pick up a bicycle using an electronic card. The bicycle can also be returned at a different place from where it was taken so that cycling can be combined with other forms of transport. For information on how the rental service works and the cost please contact: Lepontina Gestioni Srl - Piazza della Chiesa Druogno c/o Tourist Information Office in Druogno (Tel. 0324 93565 Or 348 0303696) in the opening hours of the offices.
